challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

A dark, frustrating read. No character growth or redemption. Slow story that wraps up in 15 pages at the end in the most unsatisfying way.
