dark
reflective
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot

- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.5
Grim, bleak, and unrelenting.
I appreciated the writing style and commentary and definitely found it worth the read but probably won't come back for another read.
