adventurous
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
On my edition of the book Peter Straub has a blurb on the cover: "It has true fear in it."
Is the fear in the room with us right now? Cause I did not feel any of this supposed fear while I was reading the book.
This book had some strong ideas that were completely bogged down by a slow narrative, multiple povs of the characters (there's not anything inherently wrong with that but in this book, it was a problem) and other ridiculous shit. Don't even get me started on the love story between the hero and heroine. Jesus. I'm glad to be done with this.
