dark informative mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I'm all for no plot, just vibes, but this one didn't really have enough of either to make it work.
The characters felt very one-dimensional, more charactetures than anything. Reading about someone's obsession really only works if you can get the reader obsessed with the same obsession, or with the obsession. This one fell flat for me.
