He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan
adventurous
challenging
dark
sad
tense
fast-paced
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
5.0
It is absolutely wild that these 2 are the author's first books cause holy fucking shit. I just blew through the last third of this book and stayed up WAY too late.
A personal character flaw of mine is I secretly always hope for happy endings. What you get with this book is an ending as complex as the rest of the story. But I will say the ending does feel satisfying.
Anyway I will probably be thinking about these books forever. Shelley Parker-Chan please write more books, this unworthy reader begs of you!
