dark
mysterious
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
I went into this knowing nothing and honestly recommend knowing as little as possible! You shouldn't read this if you don't like ambiguity tho!
The ending of this book is truly mind blowing and honestly beautiful.
The audiobook had a fantastic afterword that I want to quote “If the narrator has lived a life as best as she could, wildly unconventional, but one that has given her joy in many ways, hadn’t she triumphed over cruelty after all? Over having everything stripped from her? Her dignity and essential humanity winning in the end?”
The ending of this book is truly mind blowing and honestly beautiful.
