adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

While like any older book, it has not aged well in writing, but the story is still captivating and interesting, and the overall tone and themes help to make up for those bits of racism that glare at the reader.
