zombiezami's review against another edition

emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

This book wasn't really grabbing me at first, and I still didn't find it super exciting or interesting. The author seemed to be gesturing at big topics and important issues without really doing anything unique with them.
