adventurous challenging emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

having the murderer revealed halfway through the book was a choice that could have caused the second half of the book to drag but it actually worked really well. it was also interesting to see how people viewed the Mormon church as more of a cult back in the 1800s (for the record I agree that it is a cult)
