marmorienkeli's review against another edition

dark emotional sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.75

Very slow in the beginning, hard to grasp. The first like 200
pages nothing really happens, but maybe that is just the way the book was intended to be. At the end the story became interesting.
