vagrantheather 's review for:

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
adventurous challenging dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Dark, adventurous, grim, morally gray, loveable. The people are immaculate, the setting nostalgic, the writing clever. The senses of adventure and fear, the hope and grief and shame. The characters are thoroughly developed, deep, real. Their motives make sense.

I read Chai's 2 star review criticizing the lack of quiet moments for processing, and I get that. It probably could be a more powerful story if the pace relented for just a moment and let our dear Galaxy think. But it doesn't diminish my absolute delight over this book. Still a 5 star read from me.
