  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

There are aspects of this book that aged like milk. Rape, Mysogony, incest and all the black characters seemed to be servants of some kind. 

From a horror perspective, it's extremely disturbing. However, it is very long and drawn out and at least 1/3 of not half of this book could have been cut.
