Galatea by Madeline Miller

dark reflective tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I really liked this short story! The progression of the study, although it was small, was really interesting and the characters felt well developed for the amount of time they had. The only part I didn’t like about this, was that I didn’t know if she was a statue or a person, which made it overall more confusing. Galatea’s calm but skeptical manner made for a really interesting book, and I thoroughly enjoyed its plot, writing, technique and cover art.
