dark reflective medium-paced

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

0.5 off 5 stars just because it took me bloody ages to get through this. But WOW. This book was excellent - I loved the detail of the narration, the complex characters who are roughly sketched out, the absolutely haunting setting. Perfect autumn read.
