dark
emotional
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I felt like the last quarter of the book took a very dark, gruesome turn that I wasn't expecting (it is a book about war , so maybe that's on me). I was expecting a YA book but this felt more adult. The themes and historical aspects are very interesting.
