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

2.0

Weird mind-bender of a book where the city of Prague is a character that changes the plot of the one book each protagonist seems to be reading for some reason. WTF seems to be the mood as incongruent plot points run up against each other towards a screaming ending that doesn't make sense. But whatever. I'm kinda ambivalent about this one. I wouldn't recommend it.
