- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
Definitely got absorbed in it - it was very easy to read and didn't take long
Theme-wise it wasn't anything super special but that might be because I'm used to coming at books from an analytical angle and that might not apply for this genre
Had some loose ends that I felt could have been tied up -
Pacing and atmosphere was good, creepy and sufficiently tragic
Enjoyed the rural gothic and the aspects that hit a little too close
Graphic: Grief
Moderate: Child death, Violence, and Blood
Minor: Excrement, Forced institutionalization, Pregnancy, Domestic abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Medical content, Alcoholism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Torture, Alcohol, Cursing, Death of parent, and Sexual content
