dark mysterious medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes

3.0

This was way too long for what it was, the plot was incredibly simple idk how it stretched on for so gd long. The first half was addictive, and then he lost me, and then the ending got me again but just not enough for me to think this was good. The characters were flat and stereotypical even tho the writing was good? Idk
Would make a great show for tweens tho and a good read if you want to shut off your brain.
