If you're looking for a story with characters who actually have personalities and real emotions and motivations for their actions, then this is for you.
Don't get me wrong, the story is dark, kinda depressing at times, but you'll find yourself rooting for the main characters and despising others, because it's so well written and properly paced.
The author allows for tension to build, without drawing every question and problem out for chapters and chapters on end.
Highly recommend!
