3.5
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Strayed pretty far from my go-to genres with this one.  I was looking for a weekend read and just went with it.

IMO:
The monster lore and magical history was more interesting to me than the FMC
