The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna

4.0

A thoughtful and thought provoking novel. Eva is a sympathetic and strong character. Her wanting to be her own person, while having to be someone else is heartbreaking at times. I do wish the adults and their motives were more clear; and, I think the love triangle was useless and flat. Plus, the ending felt a bit rushed.


The main draw is the whole 'Echo' thing. Something I wish was explored more. The idea of what makes a person and the idea of who has a soul and what a soul is. . .it's great. Really interesting stuff. Like I said, I just wish it had been explored more. I'd love to know about other echos, especially ones that have rebelled or "gone wrong".
