emotional
hopeful
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
I wanted to like Black Cake more and, judging by the reviews, my thoughts of it are in the minority.
But, while I loved reading about the history and culture of the Caribbean Islands, the sprawling amount of (underdeveloped) characters were unnecessary and major plot advances were just too convenient.
