challenging dark informative mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

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

Hello. It’s me. Nearly a year later I randomly remembered this book and how eerie it was and totally deserving of my five stars. Absolutely a grower and not a shower.

Not the most riveting plot but A+ for descriptions of the forest, portrayal of village characters and the mind games
