dark emotional mysterious slow-paced

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

3.0

Well written with characters I liked. But man oh man was it a hard book to get through. What these characters went through is just awful and really challenging to read about, especially since the writing was so good. Almost too good, I felt I lived through the traumatic events. Some of the worst scenes are revisited/relived multiple times, I almost couldn't take it anymore. Really compelling characters though, which kept me going. Will be looking at more books by this author but not sure I can recommend this particular one given the traumatic plot.
