challenging dark mysterious fast-paced

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

5.0

Although the story starts off slow, it really builds over the book until it is properly unputdownable. The characters are so twisted in their own way, and the story is so well constructed, that it honestly is one of my favourite books ever. One of the things I loved the most was the ending, despite what other reviewers have said,

as I honestly think that if either one of them had have won the battle to put the other away, it would kinda discredit the rest of the story, as it is telling us that there are no neat endings in life.
