Big Chief by Jon Hickey
4.0
challenging dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

3.75 rounded up for debut/ An engaging modern melodrama -- intriguing characters, though I always found myself wanting to know more of their stories and to understand their motivations a bit more than I did. This reads fast and has a good narrative voice in Mitch, informative too-- I liked the ending, though it felt the tiniest bit anticlimactic after the high drama and action in the previous chapters.
