dark
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:

Authors voice very much centered the male gaze, descriptions of female characters inner thoughts, no matter how dark, felt stunted and uninformed. Plot was predictable and the darkest /plot points felt unnecessary and self-serving.
