adventurous challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

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

3.0

While the story was definitely interesting, I feel as though this book was only meh for me. The characters lacked depth & were difficult to connect to. I know they’re supposed to be morally ambiguous & sometimes even unlikeable, but there was absolutely nothing that made me care for any of them. Not a single one. They all seemed pretty disposable & the ending of the mystery aspect just felt like a cop out to me. I was interested to see where the story was heading so I kept reading, but I would only recommend this to certain people. The pacing was odd—sometimes it was slow, sometimes it was fast. I still have questions unanswered that leave me feeling unsatisfied with how the story ended. The book wasn’t horrible, but wasn’t something that I’d read again. Nothing about it really stuck out to me.
