Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
It was really predictable unfortunately. Alicia’s silence fell a bit flat and it was used as the motivation for the mystery but somehow felt more like a b story. I felt that there were a lot of characters were written as obvious red herrings and distracted from the actual mystery of the book aaaaannndddd no one was likeable so that’s awesome. It’s great if you’re in a reading slump because of the short chapters but that’s the only thing I liked.
