A book that didn't quite land, unfortunately.
"L'ombre des immortelles" came with a premise that genuinely had potential. Patricia Perello clearly has ideas, and there were moments early on where the story felt like it was building toward something meaningful. Sadly, it didn't quite get there.
The main issue is the plot progression. Throughout the book, the story seemed to struggle to find its direction — things would start picking up, and then the momentum would just fizzle out. The pacing felt inconsistent, which made it hard to stay fully invested.
And then there's the ending, which is probably the biggest letdown. The book closes on a cliffhanger — something significant happens right at the end, but instead of feeling like an intentional, exciting hook, it comes across as unfinished and rushed. It leaves you with more questions than closure, and not in a satisfying way. After committing to the whole book, it's hard not to feel a little disappointed.
To give credit where it's due — you can tell Perello was going for something ambitious, and it's not without effort. It just didn't come together this time around. Maybe her other work lands differently, but this one is a pass for me.
