spiderelsa 's review for:

Tithe by Holly Black
4.5
adventurous dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was So In to rate this more highly, but thennn.
the only 'out' gay character killed his love interest and it was the right thing to do because it was a toxic relationship
 

Okay, wait, the longer I sit with this, the higher my rating goes anyway. 
self-extrication from an abusive relationship with one's sanity (mostly) intact
- fine. 

I'm in for more of this world, even with it being darker than I was expecting, somehow, after reading Spiderwick first. (But also, I didn't get past the initial series, I should remind myself with grace.)
