reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

I was really excited for this and will definitely continue with the series but it just felt like this novel was laying the foundations for something greater that will occur in the next few novels. Just hope that the set up is worth it.
