The characters are complex and well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep the reader engaged. The writing is also excellent, with beautiful descriptions and a strong sense of atmosphere. However, the book can be quite dark at times, and some readers may find the violence and themes of betrayal and revenge disturbing.
