Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The title and synopsis were misleading and I feel like the story was dragged out for most of it. The end was packed with action, gore, and what felt like a rushed wrap-up of the story. But I loved Bahni Turpin’s performance as the narrator. So if you really want to read this book, I recommend listening to the audiobook.
