adventurous
dark
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
I wanted to like this SO MUCH MORE, because it was on Obama’s Reading List a couple of years ago, but unfortunately it wasn’t for me 🥺
Although there were moments of tension that gripped me, I didn’t feel as though I was invested in anybody (whether that be the main character or the man in power accused of war crimes etc.) 🥲
Maybe there’s a better, deeper understanding from someone out there but I’m afraid it’s not from me 😂
2.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
