adventurous dark mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

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

Enjoyed this a lot, which is why I was a bit disappointed by how it ended. Liked the plot twist, that was not the problem, but without spoiling anything: I can see what the author wanted to do. Just a shame that it opened up some more questions, and that it thus didn't feel like a 'true' ending. I think if '''the thing''' would have been done a chapter later after a more proper way of ending had already been written, it would have achieved the exact same the author would have wanted to do; just with it feeling more clean & with leaving me (& maybe other readers too, if this isn't something that is just bothering me) more fulfilled.
I still think the book is worth reading even so, & I'm looking forward to the third book in this series being released in english this October (I think it was).
