Wild Dark Shore

 

“Wild Dark Shore” by Charlotte McConaghy

Well, this is another one in which my rating is lower than others.  So many people loved this book, but I just found it to be OK.  I think part of the issue for me was the descriptiveness related to the seeds.  I know the seed bank itself plays a large part in the storyline, but I found myself skimming through paragraphs about the seeds themselves.  Some would call it beautiful writing, but to me it seemed like unnecessary fluff to lengthen it from a novella to a novel.  Obviously, just my opinion though.
 
Side note – this is my 100^th book read in 2025 (62 physical / 38 audio).
 
Finished 12/21/25 – 3/5 stars
