adventurous dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

4.5

Well-written & engrossing. I haven’t gotten through a book this big this fast in quite awhile. The Graphic Audio audiobooks were also an enjoyable way to get into this story, worth checking out.

slow-paced

3.5

Keen to read the next book, but not sure I'd read it again

Annoying point of the plot:

The riddle was easy. Why did it take so long to solve? Ignore the riddle and just do the challenges OR make it s more difficult riddle. It was frustrating knowing that plot point was unresolved, no matter how the story kept continuing via the "trials."

Also not a fan of the Beauty and the Beast style Stockholm syndrome.
