2.0
challenging dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No

Started weird with the main character being a Holmes, then I enjoyed the description. Then I hated how the child abuse was dealt with even if it was a product of its time. Then even more confused by the plot ending and still don't know what happened at the end
