A review by baponthecob
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

the ending wasnt bad but left too much up to the imagination for me. i was a little confused. the entire rest of the book was absolutely phenomenal
