Veronica Crawley’s Reviews > The Mystery of Edwin Drood > Status Update

so disappointing this book is unfinished bc the nearer to the end of the plot the better it gets and the bits we have are all over the place then none of them get tied up because there’s no ending.

i better finish this by february. ive got 70 pages and a couple appendixes

the first half of the book felt so pointless. at least were in the “action” now if you could even call it that. but also why did jasper jeed to rephrase the same conversation three times for five pages? and half the book is introduction and appendixes from other authors dissecting the book.

the characters in the musical are much more likable than in the book except jasper . he’s more twisted in the musical

so many of these passages seem pointless to the plot if im gonna be honest. just ramblings really. and half the book is appendixes anyways 😭

getting a bit easier to read but really not keeping me engaged for very long at a time. realized it’s not set as a play within the world like the musical and is just the world . also the relationship between rosa and edwin is so different 😭 i didn’t know they hated each other like that i thought they were childhood best friends . and i miss the songs lol

only reading this bc i love the musical and im ngl i might dnf.. writing like this is just not for me..
