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

4.0

Found the structure of the story to be incredibly repetitive, as the chapters generally become focused on introducing something new that becomes “part of the spiral”. 

Despite this, I was always intrigued to find out what new disturbing image lurked on the next page. Plus those final chapters and ending were absolutely worth the middle stretch being a bit of a slog. 

Too long, but definitely worth the read!
