adventurous emotional mysterious sad medium-paced

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

3.5

The storytelling is lovely and deep—like a fairy tale for grown-ups, but still realistic—with a good mystery concept. Each chapter went backward or forward in time, which was done well and not confusing. The ending was pretty good. Some minor content (language, sexual, religious/spiritual) that I was not expecting. 
3.5 stars
