The Covenant of Water was not good *opinionated rant*
I was so excited to read this book, I was actually talking about it for months because the internet is full of rave reviews of it. I was SO disappointed. The writing was elementary to me; the author does so much telling and not nearly enough showing. The characters didn’t feel like real people to me, and I had little to no emotional connection to any of them. When certain tragedies would take place surrounding a central character it just didn’t feel like a big deal to me and it SHOULD HAVE. My biggest pet peeve with this book by far was the constant rhetorical questions “*Did he really think she wouldn’t notice?”* So cringe to me. Every now and then this can be effective but multiple times per chapter is a bit much. I just had to get my thoughts out because the disappointment is real. If you enjoyed it or felt the same, I’m curious to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this one.
