The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
A fascinating premise, but the female protagonist has a few moments where you are very cognizant of the fact that the author is a man (multiple comments about her own breast size, for example). It's an interesting story, but I probably won't be picking up the rest of the series due to the author's voice.
Graphic: Body horror
Moderate: Body shaming, Torture, and Classism
Minor: Vomit
