challenging dark hopeful mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

it wasn’t until i read the afterward, where ward describes this book as “a book about survival, disguised as a book about horror” that i was able to decide how i felt about this book. i predicted the big twist from the beginning, but not the end way it would play out in the end or the direction ward would take with it. so, overall, i’d say it’s a good book that is very mindful with its subject matter.
