Falling to Ash by Karen Mahoney
2.0
Part of me feels like giving this 2 stars is too low.... but there's another part of me which just felt this story was a big... meh.
I liked Moth, I really did. She was funny and confident and clumsy and bad-ass all at the same time. But gah, I just couldn't get on with the story. It feels a bit incomplete, like you're getting some details, but not enough to become fully immersed in the world. You get tidbits of her relationships, but not enough to actually feel anything for anyone in particular. Her relationship with Theo wasn't really clear either- love to hate, lover to... father figure? But I'm fairly certain he does love her? Bah, it just felt a bit glossed over. All of it.
