Rachel Unkefer reviewed Sparrow by James Hynes
Not much plot or character development
3 stars
I’ve read several of Hynes’ novels and this was very different. I was very interested in the historical setting, but that’s kind of all there was. The character development was not particularly deep and there wasn’t a lot of plot until the last 25 pages when everything went into overdrive. And then the ending was a bit abrupt and not all that satisfying. So, I kept reading because I was interested in the historical detail, but I wasn’t all that engaged with the characters.
