adventurous dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

The first third of the book was kind of boring to me, but then I read the rest of the book in a day and had a great time. Not fully sure how I feel about this book but I’ll certainly be reading the next book.
