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

5.0

A mini masterpiece!
I don’t read many novella’s, and I forget how rich they can be.
I gave this a quick read at university but didn’t have the time to enjoy it. I’m really glad I came back to it, I didn’t appreciate how brilliant it is.
If you’re looking for a short read, this one is very satisfying, and I know I’ll be thinking about the ending whenever this book comes to mind.
