• Strong character development? Yes

4.0

I really enjoyed this! Fast-paced but also lots of reminisces of the character's past. Lots of mystery and excitement and tension. It kept me occupied and invested to the end.

3.0

I think they did a disservice by marketing this book as a thriller. It only gets fast paced and thriller-y in the last quarter. The first three quarters is quite slow with not a lot of plot.
