[REVIEW] Marionette by Antonia Rachel Wood

I’m a bit torn with this book. On one hand, Ward is a fantastic writer; for that reason alone, I will continue reading their work. On the other hand, the characters are too underdeveloped (as is their love) to be believable enough for my investment. There were also some weak explanations that left me wondering how so-and-so was even hypnotized in this or that moment. Ultimately, this novella seems like it should have been a novel. The story is there, as is the writing, but the characters definitely needed more time to interact and more development for me to feel a separation of names throughout the story. 3/5
