House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional funny tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No
While HoBW was quite slow-paced, this book really kicks it up a notch after about halfway through. The plot deepens, the politics are much more complex than initially anticipated, and the slow burn romance finally pays off.
