dark
emotional
funny
mysterious
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The character development in this one is stronger than in previous books—the motivations felt more complex and grounded. I’m also impressed that Yarros hasn’t let to any swift solutions come about for Xaden. That said, a friend of mine told me once that the difference between fantasy and reality is that fantasy villains are wrapped up into a single, defeatable object rather than spread unevenly through the hearts of your neighbors. That said: I truly hope that Yarros wraps up this series while addressing threats that extend beyond the venin. (I mean. . .there’s the abuse in the school in and of itself that should probably be looked at.)
