THE CROW ROAD - IAIN BANKS | BOOK REVIEW

Join me as I talk about a book that was only OK and not what I normally read but somehow I magically found things to say about it! Wowee!

you summed up my thoughts on this book really well, although I think I liked it a little more! the "reveal" is pretty underwhelming since they literally give you all the clues in logical order but I did enjoy the romance subplot. I liked that although we all know the trope of the "i loved this other person but you were there for me the whole time", we really saw Prentice's development and by the end it felt earned. Great review!

I'll probably give this one a miss haha. I've only read one Iain Banks but I really want to read more of his sci-fi. What is your fav Iain Banks?

This seems like the kind of book I would be intrigued by but never actually read 😆 nevertheless, great job breaking down what works and doesn’t work in the book
