dark mysterious tense slow-paced

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

3.25

An okay read. Started off confusing with unlikeable characters so was a little hard to get into. Middle of the book was slow and not much happened. More of a murder mystery than a fantasy. 
Saved only by the last few chapters where the pace picked up significantly and it became much more the fantasy/magic book it is sold as, but still not amazing. I will probably read the next book, but I won’t be rushing to get it.

Yet another book full of flashbacks that would have been better told linearly. 
Also... all of the trigger warnings. All of them.

This book would not be good for people triggered by delusions, paranoia, or schizophrenia, though it doesn't quite fit for a trigger warning.
