![]() ![]() ![]() I am not sure if it is because there were eight other siblings or because the other siblings needed more development or because Derry was the focal point but I got the siblings confused continuously. I wish there had been a touch more showing, not telling, of the relationship between the siblings and that the youngest twins had been identified as something other than the youngest twins I can't even remember their names because they were always clumped together as the littlest twins. Two of her siblings died and one went missing for an extended period of time and I never experienced fear or apprehension from the other siblings and it reduced the frightfulness of the disappearances. I feel that Derry and her siblings were disconnected. I know that A Dark and Starless Forest is highly praised, but I had a major gripe with the relationships portrayed between Derry and her siblings that prevented me from rating this novel higher. ![]()
