Things Don't Break on Their Own by Sarah Easter Collins

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
The pace was slow and I did not find this to be a true thriller.

2.5

I loved the narrators and the Finnish mythology/folklore elements of this book. However, the rest of this story did not work for me. The death God was a huge red flag, but the author wants you to believe he is the good side of death compared to the death witches. They were all horrible. The rest of the story moved slow and dragged in places. I think it could have been a more powerful story if it were shorter.
