adventurous dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

Slow, spooky, and atmospheric, more build up than payoff, perhaps, but the story might not work without it.

For a book with demons, it avoided a lot of the traps of "hey, demons!" as a shortcut to make things automatically serious and scary.
