challenging
dark
emotional
sad
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The split narration is incredibly confusing for the first 30-40 pages, and even once I figured out what was going on I felt the pacing of one “perspective” was slower than the other until about page 100. After that it was totally gripping.
⁕ The snarky/sadistic comments of the narrator(s?) and the use footnotes to provide unnecessary but detailed world-building were sometimes fun, sometimes really distracting. I’m still torn on these elements.
⁕ The story is far more driven by the plot and overall suspense than character development and nuance.
