A review by danielcasey
A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy

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

3.0

Not an impressive tale—a bit thin, lax but certainly well-balanced and crafted. It felt like a romance entirely carried by its plot-points than anything compelling in the characters or setting. Still, enjoyable and you can see elements and themes that will show up in Hardy’s more mature novels
