The Wedding Night has an interesting premise and a stunning backdrop, but ultimately, it suffers because it doesn't know what it wants to be. Although it's framed as a thriller, there's only a few moments of actual suspense and the plot feels dragged out. The ending underwhelmed me for all of the drama that lead to it; it seems like a story that could have been told in 100 pages.

I also struggled with the writing, which slowed the paced for me. Too many of the sentences were overcomplicated, padded with em dashes and heavy descriptions that I had to read 3-4 times to break down.

I think if the plot could have honed in more on the "wedding night" and unraveling the mysteries surrounding it, this could have been a much more intriguing read.
