dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Evie Wyld on niin taitava kirjoittaja! Tässäkin kirjassa oli raivoa, surua, pelkoa ja vimmaa ja rakastan sitä, kuinka Wyldin naiset ovat aina jollain tavalla sellaisia, että heitä katsotaan kieroon, kummeksuen tai halveksien.

Usean aikatason kerronta toimii, vaikka vähän joutui totuttelemaan siihen alussa. Teksti soljuu lähes kauhunomaisesti eteenpäin! Upea!
