adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

3.75

definitely the best of the stranger things books.
it has it own independent plot from the show and feels like a mystery/crime/thriller that just happened to have hopper in it. 
also, cultish things adjacent to stranger things adjacent to 70s cop vibes is my shit apparently. 
(objectively would say 3 but some points up just because i was impressed and having a fun time)

I enjoyed reading about Hopper's backstory, and it's a really solid mystery by itself too. At some points it did feel like he was presented as over-competent when other characters in the scene could've led and female characters felt a bit damsel-in-distress at points, but in general it was a fun read!
