Three Assassins by Kōtarō Isaka
3.5
adventurous dark tense fast-paced
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

This one took some time to grow on me but I really enjoyed it. The main characters we spend time with are all interesting in their own way; it’s especially interesting to follow Suzuki on his quest for vengeance and see how many people also want the same thing. 

I listened to this as an audiobook but ultimately I think this one might’ve been more engaging if I read it physically. There’s a lot of repeated conversations between groups of people who don’t interact that pulled me out of the audio at times.

Overall - thrilling! And I really enjoyed the conclusion.
