paigeturner26's review against another edition

dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

4.0

Extremely good writing but it left me wanting to take up cigarettes and have smoke breaks between every chapter to relax.
