After eagerly anticipating reading The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton and waiting for a long time for it to be available from the library, I was quite disappointed by it. The story was interesting but nothing was fully fleshed out and the characters weren’t deep enough for me to really care about them or what was happening to them. Midway though, I was tempted to abandon the book because the pace became so very slow. While I pushed through, I can honestly say that I am sad I wasted the time on this one.
