magicalghoul 's review for:

A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
4.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A bit of a challenging one since it was, ultimately, about an abusive relationship.

The writing style is beautiful and lent itself really well to the audiobook format but I would've loved to see more moments with the other characters to really feel that bond they had. I enjoyed reading it but it could've pushed itself a bit more in that regard, if anything to at least make an even more satisfactory ending.
