dark emotional sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
Shows loss of identity, sexism and government corruption in a great way. Has almost everything 1984 has, without Orwell's implicit misogyny.
