adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

2.5

Despite the first third being my favorite part of this book it did not draw me in enough to be excited about reading it. I found the relationships between characters, and consequential actions, quite hard to follow especially near the end. 

I can appreciate the authors writing style and there were some really nice passages but all in all it wasn’t for me.
