#Review: THE INGENUE by Rachel Kapelke-Dale

 


3 of 5 stars

I have mixed feelings about this book. After reading the first book, BALLERINAS, I was excited to see what the author would write next. Saskia is a very complicated character, and the dual timelines in the story let the reader in on what her childhood was like, but it also took away from the action of the present. She was a child prodigy who lost the magic of the music as she got older, and it all can be attributed to Patrick who took advantage of her innocence. I did love the snippets from the fairytales at the beginning of each chapter. Those were well done. As far as the ending, I must say I was surprised and taken aback by it. No spoilers here, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
