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

4.5

I was surprised that this was a Barker novel. It is definitely lighter than his typical work, but still had a great amount of tension and horror. It has some really good themes to fall on and makes you think about time. It was a little slow at first but then really picked up.
