slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

I found the first half of the book hard to get into. The writing style was interesting but not over the top. The male characters were well developed and complex, but all the female characters were one dimensional idols. May be an intentional choice but I couldn’t warm to the characters or really root for them.
