Book Review of The Legacy: A Novel

The Legacy: A Novel

I have decided that after the first 20 pages, this book was not my cup of tea. Having said that, the book did have its moments, although they were far and few.

The book is split into two POV's, one during the present time, following Erica Calcott and the other in the past about 100 years, following Caroline. There are two main mysteries in the book, but to be honest, I didn't really care for much of the story, except for the times when we followed Caroline.

Caroline, as a character, was fully fleshed out. We were able to witness her entire life, the ups and the downs. I felt myself cheering her on, willing her to step up many times.

Erica however, I felt no such connection to. I read her parts almost robotic-ly, they were the chapters keeping me from continuing Caroline's story.

Even though I liked Caroline's story just slightly better than Erica's, I can't say that swayed me into liking this book. Reading this felt like a chore and I'm glad that I'm finally done with it.
