buradimari's review against another edition

dark sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Too many sentences start with she and the ending seemed like it skipped something abruptly.  In other books, I expect a jump to down the road in the future, it feels like the right place.  In this book, it didn't feel like the right place.  It felt like I missed something.
