adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

Really quite good, though I didn't realize I had some expectations that weren't met until it was the end of the book and some things hadn't happened.
