dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is gorgeous, and the writing style is absolutely phenomenal. There is something incredibly enchanting about every paragraph in this book, that carries the mystery and marvel of the emotional story. The twists and turns of this book are brutal, and the characters are believable and at times beyond relatable. However, the ending does leave a lot to be desired for me, as it didn't feel quite as impactful as the rest of the book. The ending also felt weirdly worded and structured as compared to the rest of the book as well. Obviously this does not drag the book down by much, but it does keep it from being absolutely perfect.
