dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

The first 75% doesn’t touch what Isaka has done in the past, but the shifting perceptions in the final chapter are exhilarating and would have serve the book much better to have that format throughout the whole thing
