Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab

dark emotional 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

5.0

"It's complicated" to "Did you find the characters lovable?" was made for this book. I'm usually a plot forward kind of reader, but Schwab can give me a character driven fantasy every time and I will devour it. I can take or leave pretty prose until Schwab's perfectly crafted words linger in my brain for hours. Imo a flawless book full of deeply flawed and interesting characters.
