A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

adventurous slow-paced

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

3.0

I think this book definitely could have been  shorter. It was average but there was almost too much build up. And what build up there was was for the Essen Tasch, which wasn't really described in detail when it was happening, which I found really disappointing. It picked up a bit near the end but wasn't worth the length of the book.
