𓏲ּ ⚖️ ִֶָ 𓂃� ִֶָ
in its entirety, penance was captivating; i wanted to see exactly where the story was going and how it would all come together. but that didn't stop the writing from feeling unnecessarily tedious at times [why are we going on a tangent to discuss every minuscule detail about this town and each parent's backstory for the 397340th time?] i get that it's supposed to mimic a "non-fiction" story. i get that understanding the parents will help us understand these characters and why they did that horrible crime. i can get something and still feel annoyed at the redundancy, though. the hard-to-follow writing may have played a part in my annoyance.
� but hey - i felt compelled to continue, so i guess that aligns with the message of this book :p
