This is definitely one for those who love a book that is mostly about characters and atmosphere, there’s not a lot plot driven action happening. I love a character driven book and the atmosphere and writing of this was delightful. Really easy to read. It’s not as complex and nuanced as I might have liked but I definitely enjoyed it.
