Split or Swallow by Lindsay Straube
2.75
challenging dark emotional slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I initially started out intrigued and entertained, but by the end, this was a war of attrition. The story of Tem, Caspen, and Leo got more and more complicated, the resolution got harder to accept, and the characters became more unlikeable. I feel like this could have used some heavy editing because the middle third dragged for a long time.

Spice level is off the charts, but it's the law of diminishing returns.
