adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

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

2.5

I'm really conflicted about this one. Be sure to read all TW. I really liked how the author recreated the characters, but the brutality was a bit much for me. Sexual assault is described heavily throughout.
