The Diviners is so good!!!! The story is well written, following several plots. The murder mystery case is thrilling and scary and intense. Evie is incredibly charming and likeable-- I love her. The Diviners is captivating, I couldn't put it down. The only thing I find a little annoying (just a little) is that I expected Bray to close up all of the stories she followed, especially because the book is so fat (400+ pages). There were so many storylines, and I thought she would tie them together, but instead the strands stayed separate. Some met, but the stories never fully merged and came together. I guess she's saving it for the sequel. I spent the entire novel super excited to see the characters finally meet, the puzzle finally pieced together, and have all of their knowledge shared, but that never happened, so looking back at that lack of climax is a little disappointing. But it's not a big deal, because this book is amazing, and I know the strands will all be tied together in the sequel. It's really such a small flaw (not even a flaw really), and the novel is so enchanting and immersive, that it doesn't change how much I enjoyed the Diviners. The Diviners is exciting, keeping you completely invested until the very end. There were parts where I was on the edge of my seat, barely breathing, waiting to see what would happen. It's a thrilling read, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fun, realistic characters and intense mysteries (and also a few history lessons thrown in!).
