A review by sllewis4
The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

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

3.75

Found this quite slow in parts and was ready to give it a lower rating before the last 100 pages and understand it was part of the slow build of the book. The last section was really excellent and found the characters to be well developed with really vivid imagery in parts.
