dark
mysterious
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? No
3.0
this book feels so slow at the start and then ends in a matter of pages. the writing was unnecessarily flowery (the amount of english class flashbacks to how to use metaphors UGH). however, i felt myself enjoying it towards the end, as the pace started to pick up. i enjoyed figuring out the clues and inevitably guessed the plot twist sooner than i’d hoped but hey ho. still a good festive read, and i always appreciate a bit of the gays (;
