  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

Whilst this was undeniably well-written and almost lyrical in its prose (makes sense that the author is a poet); it was also tedious and pretentious.

This is very much a character driven story; a telling of how characters decisions and actions shape their lives. There was very little plot. 

A quick read, laden with grief. Wouldn’t read any others by the author.
