dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I read the translated edition of this story and it was fascinating. There was this sense of building up urgency and it was done really well. I found myself wanting to rush through to the end to find out what would happen. I read it slowly, though, and really appreciated the storytelling of this book. I really liked Aki’s character a lot.
