Our Share of Night by Mariana Enríquez
5.0

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Well crafted characters that keep you wanting to live in their heads. A shadowy cult that uses dark magic in a terrifying fashion. Worshiping a destructive hungry god. This book is deep and dark and sensitive and scary. It’s got a lot going for it. I found the segments to be overlong, and hated not being able to finish an entire segment in a sitting. But, the character work, descriptions, terror, and heartache made it worth it.
