• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Loveable characters? It's complicated

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

It’s a book about a school for assassins taking place in the late 1980s. Even when it’s slow, there’s a lot of character and plot being conveyed. Once the action gets going it happens at a break neck speed.

This book was really good. It should be probably left to a late teen/early 20s audience to start off with despite it taking place in a high school of sorts the content of the book is extremely aggressive in sexuality, violence, race and other inequalities that can create animosities between students. I enjoyed this book a lot, 4 stars rather than 5 as the transition over to fast paced parts of the arcs could have been more gradual rather though I respect why it is more like an on/off switch in terms of action.
