challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Try to read it in one sitting if possible, my experience was very scattered and therefore I lost a lot of the effect so don’t do what I did. Still an excellent book and a good example of how to write asshole characters who you can still (kinda) root for.
