adventurous challenging dark sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

This book was stretched out about 20% longer than necessary. There are portions that even felt like filler. The ending was decent and wrapped up the series well.
