Seven Faceless Saints by M.K. Lobb
2.5
adventurous mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Unsatisfying delivery of what seemed like an interesting concept. Too much of the content is focused on the main characters being hung up on each other rather than investigating the murders they're trying to solve. I found the characters flat and all their chemistry leaning on their shared personal history. Plot development was stilted. Several points felt like they were just written to progress a certain way, regardless of how believable it was. By the end, the murderer reveal didn't have much impact because it just felt like a side story to the "romance" and interpersonal conflict.
