The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw

dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

I listened to this one, and I'm not a native English speaker, so it was a bit hard to understand, and It sometimes took me out of the story. But the story is still good. I will read other books from this author but a digital copy.
