tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Honestly, I have no idea what happened in this book. The beginning and the end are the strongest parts while the middle is very much a jumble of reality and paranoia. I think that’s the point, and it made for a very confusing and surreal reading experience, which is not unlike the confusion and murkiness that Area X exists within.
