  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

An angry and straightforward book that I can't help but to like. It's heart wrenching and emotionally exhausting and somehow both satisfying and a power fantasy but the struggle is so awful it doesn't always feel like one. Look forward to the sequel and to see where this all ends.
