adventurous dark funny mysterious medium-paced

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

3.25

I disagree with some of the structural/editorial/writing choices of the book. Also it takes too long to get to the point. Still entertaining and I still read it and I am going to read the next one, so. Do with that what you will.
