okay
The latest instalment of the Davina Ravine series continues on from where the last book left off. She’s still busy renovating a bunch of houses on Felony Row, still dealing with her many and varied fears and phobias, and taking on way too much for one person.
The book starts with an, admittedly strange, therapy session. About time. Davina has turned into a basket case. I’m over her involving herself in everything and being so emotional and stressed out. She was stronger character at the beginning of this series and the circumstances she’s endured have definitely had an affect on her but she really does nothing to help herself 90% of the time. She’s suddenly become terrible in a crisis and barely functional the rest of the time.
She takes on way too much and doesn’t seem to understand that not everything has to be on her shoulders. She almost always refuses help and thinks everyone is disappointed in her, even though it’s clear they’re worried about her. So it was nice to see some character growth here.
The stakes in this book didn’t feel as high as previous books in the series. There’s also still a lot of filler story, which is something I’ve had an issue with for the entire series.
I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost my enthusiasm for this series or whether it’s just continued past when it should’ve but either way, I am hoping it’s wrapped up soon.
