Erika (17789 KP) rated Melmoth: A Novel in Books
Jan 9, 2019
This novel utilized the myth of Melmoth the Witness (and its various iterations/spellings) and the atmosphere of Prague. Perry utilized an epistolary format for some of it, which I felt was effective. My biggest problem with the novel is that it was all very predictable, and I think it was because the foreshadowing was a little too obvious. That was what knocked this book down to just good.
