Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake
4.0
dark funny mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Titus Groan drew me in with the gothic setting of dust and decay, and the bizarre but highly distinct characters. It builds up the tension of the story layer by layer, frequently moving the focus around between different characters and their struggles. I plan to keep reading the series.
