Review
What a ride! I love a story that jumps between different character perspectives (when it’s done well, of course) and keeps me guessing until the end. Of course, that means it’s hard to review this book without given away any spoilers so you will just have to trust me on this one.
The way mental health is dealt with in this book is beautiful and the author does a really good job giving it a true representation. In fact, the message that no human should suffer alone is often stronger than the plot line of the story. I liked that.
It’s wonderful following Elowen’s character and getting to know who she really is. But to be honest, I quite enjoyed reading all of the characters in this book, and that’s something that can be quite rare.
Overall, Disquiet gets two thumbs up from me. If it sounds like something you would enjoy, it’s available to buy now.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
