- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
The writing: lyrical. The story: depressing. Is this an allegorical Greek saga or a Shakespearean tragedy? I’m not sure. [Both?]
This is a book for readers who love Greek tragedies, unlikable characters, and twists. [It is especially enjoyable for those who appreciate parenthetical narration.]
