mandik's review against another edition

dark emotional sad tense

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

First of all, there are no chapters! If you are the type of reader who needs chapters to keep track of progress, either buckle up to read this in one go or find a new way today. I do not recommend reading this in one go like I did. You will be sad. Very very sad. You'll be sad either way. But take a moment to collect your thoughts and feelings. On that note, make sure you are in a good head space before diving it. This is a tough read. 

I'm still processing. Maybe I'll expand upon this later but right now I need to sit and eat my feelings.

Beautifully haunting, but definitely not a book to read when feeling down.
