Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Honestly I don’t really recommend this to anyone because it was purely a disturbing amalgamation of anything sick and twisted the author could think of:
Plot - non-existent
Insufferable characters - yes
Demonisation of minorities - yes
Any horrible thing a child/person shouldn’t experience was just crammed into a singular one-dimensional character and at the end of this book (if you even make it that far) you are left with a sense of horror and left with the burning question of ‘what the actual fuck did I just read?’
Content/trigger warnings:
-Basically anything that you could possibly think of
