All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

4.75

dark emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I jumped into this book wanting it to be a fast-paced murder mystery but it's definitely a slower paced saga with a murder mystery storyline. Once I switched my mindset I got more into the book. All the characters seem to speak very metaphorically (which some characters being children seemed very unrealistic) and this also took me a while to adjust to. After a bit I came to appreciate the beautiful narration and the storyline kept me very interested. 600 pages is always a lot but I think this book is worth it, there were a few sections I thought could be cut down. But all in all it's a beautiful novel I laughed, I cried, I recommend!
