dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Once I’ve heard or seen enough spoilers of a book (or in this case heard the entire plot) I find it difficult to get through the book by myself. However, in this case each new development in the plot or main characters still came as a shock and knowing the ending did nothing to diminish the impact of the plot and value in reading it for myself. Michaelides had my attention from the first word to the last and did not disappoint.
