challenging dark emotional sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

Woof. Very heavy book but a great read. It's not something I'd "recommend" but if you're a fan of very dark, dystopian tales, this is right for you.
