ppkfs 's review for:

In the Absence of Spring by Alexander Graeme
1.5
dark mysterious reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Everyone spoke like they were Shadow the Hedgehog talking about how they had never been happy and that everything is hopeless. I think the intent was to be a sort of reflective nihilistic late 19th century Russian novel but it didn't work. It was just too edgy.
