The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht
dark
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.0
I'm not even sure what to say about this book other than it is dark. The writing is incredibly atmospheric and so descriptive it's like I had a mini movie playing out the whole time I was reading it.
The characters are awful in the sense that there's no goodness or redeeming quality in any of them. The scenery is bleak and cold, both literally and figuratively. What we have here is a bit of a folktale and a bit of a revenge story, and I loved it.
