The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced
  • 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? Yes

4.0

I enjoyed Leigh's Galaxy Stern books but they, and what I have heard of the grishaverse, seem to have a touch of my strong female character is a strong female character because she has survived so much trauma. Ninth House in particular almost felt a little torture porn at some points. 
I am happy to report I didn't feel this way with this book.
