morningtide's review against another edition
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.5
I gave this book 5 stars the first time I read it and I can see why. The story feels compelling, even if it feels a bit predictable at times. Obviously we know things as the reader that the characters in the story don't know, and it feels appropriately satisfactory when they find out as well. Even though I remembered the gist of the story from the first time I read it, I still felt surprised at certain points so I have to give it props for that. This time around I think I am mainly impressed and a little uncomfortable by how much I feel bad for the villain once we learn his back story.
Will Graham is right, in the end. It is not the places that are haunted, but the people.
