dark
hopeful
mysterious
reflective
tense
medium-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? Yes
5.0
Graphic: Racism and Racial slurs
Moderate: Murder and Sexism
The chapter "June 2003: Way up in the Middle of the Air" contains a character using the n-word towards several black characters. While the character in question is clearly written as deplorable, the use of the slur can be very excessive.
