Prince's Gambit by C.S. Pacat

adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This one did things to me. I haven't had a reaction to a book ending like this in a while. The author has to be projecting onto Laurant, meaning that they both plan ahead and have everything planned out. It's brilliant.
