adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

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

5.0

What a wild read! I cannot properly review it without ruining the mystery! I highly recommend you trust the process and read the whole thing, even though the first half is deceptively a slog. They pay off is worth it!
