dark tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

This was a quick read that I zipped through in one sitting. It’s very plot driven which makes it fast paced and easy to follow. As a character driven reader I would prefer diving into the internal dilemmas and the feelings a bit more, but that’s just not this style of book. It’s an interesting world and I wanted to learn more about the Drakiri. There was so much plot packed into the little space that I would love to see it expanded and really drawn out.
