dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

I wanted to like Black Cake more and, judging by the reviews, my thoughts of it are in the minority.

But, while I loved reading about the history and culture of the Caribbean Islands, the sprawling amount of (underdeveloped) characters were unnecessary and major plot advances were just too convenient.
