Review of 'A Stir of Echoes' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
2.5 stars. It was a breeze to read, but for much of it I was kind of bored. It’s a little more mundane suburbia than I expected.
It did manage to surprise me in the end, but it relies a lot on some quite sexist portrayals of women. Sometimes I did find Anne and Tom’s dynamic sweet and supportive, so it wasn’t all bad. I wish Anne was an ally sooner.
There’s a Standard White Man narrative voice, and Tom has it. Again, just kind of boring.
Ultimately this was fine! Short and easy to read but not super memorable for me.
