The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

The taut prose lends itself well to creating and maintaining tension throughout the novel.  However, the lack of world-building and somewhat ambiguous character development left me wanting more.  The premise is promising and there are some bright moments in terms of writing, but overall I thought this was just okay.
