spines's review against another edition
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
3.5
no real spoilers but ymmv:
spooky and grim, a fun romp. starts out more eerie and gothic (think haunting of hill house or yellow wallpaper) but ends action-packed and intense (think until dawn)
lots of questions were left unanswered which is a bit unsatisfying but also it makes sense for there to be no answer so I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
dorran is a fairly chill guy, a bit awkward, a bit ominous at first, but overall more of a woobie than anything. clare has final girl energy but her execution doesn't always hit the mark. they were a fun pair to read about and their relationship developed really realistically (though it wasn't very exciting)
it was a good book so I'm probably going to read the next one in the series at some point, but I'm not necessarily hooked enough to start reading it right now
