lunaisreading's review against another edition

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

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

3.5

It's a  fast-paced read that keeps you engaged throughout. Some plot holes/inconsistencies but still, an overall interesting book. The twist at the end was decently executed for this genre of book, despite some aspects of it being predictable.
