My Dark Beast by Olivia Wildenstein
3.5
funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Very interesting story. I just questioned the execution at times. Some things were spelled out so clearly (almost overly so) that I could see plot twists coming. Other things felt like details were glazed over and I just had to accept what was going on to continue with the story. 

I wish some of the characters were given more development throughout the almost 700 page book, as we just had minimal details to go on. Some things that felt important to the characters were just hinted at but never elaborated on (like the whole Electra, Malachi, and Ines thing?? Definitely need more details). Though maybe this is just setting up for more books down the road?
