challenging dark reflective tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I am not one for slow paced books with long chapters, but I am in love. I have never read a book that had be so split on the characters and the story and even myself. 

Do I love these characters or hate them? Do I understand why they did what they did? Do I trust any of them? 

I loved the dark theme that was tackled in this book; I’m sure I’ll re-read it in the future to find things I missed.
