A review by oashackelford

adventurous challenging medium-paced

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

4.5

In the beginning I felt that the book was moving fast, even though he was imprisoned for 14 years, but by the time he gets around to settling his revenge on his victims, that part is a  slow burn and it takes quite a while for the hammer to drop.
