• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• 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

This was a very strange book. It was quite engrossing but the whole time I was reading it, I wasn’t sure if I actually liked it. Sometimes when it’s clear there’s going to be a reveal from early on, it becomes somewhat distracting trying to guess exactly what it will be and then it doesn’t pay off as much as it should. I liked elements of this but overall I don’t think it quite worked as a whole, and the ending was a rather strange, too. It kept my interest all along, though, and the writing was quite good. Pretty good book but not great.
