challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

I did not like Harriet. But the other characters were way better to me. But i also enjoyed the plot twists. Because uptil half way i was like this is 3 stars at the most. But that last part really sold it for me. Definitely not a book for everyone in my opinion. It is so slow before stuff happens. Harriet is very unlikable. But the way stuff all ended up making sense and made my brain itch in a really good way. So 4 stars it is.
