Great story. The overall concept was new (for me at least) and refreshing. Well, as refreshing as a story about a graveyard can be. It had some twists and turns and managed to keep the readers guessing. The characters felt very real, the MC wasn't OP or extremely intelligent and there were parts of his personality that were likable and parts that weren't. He felt very real, as did all of the other characters. There weren't many side characters, but each and everyone of them were well thought out and... more>> had a background and their own purpose in the story, no matter how large. It had good build up and allowed you to really immerse yourself in the story. Character development was present

he went from constantly plotting his escape to wanting to help Meria

and felt very natural. The whole story doesn't revolve around one aspect like romance or mystery, but everything was included in moderation.

This is a pretty vague review, but I would definitely recommend it 5/5 <<less

Sugar Dark is a good, relatively short story. The writing style is consistent with reasonable forward momentum.

I enjoyed the setting, characters, and unfolding of the plot; having a special appreciation for the author's ability to tease out a fantastic world that still feels grounded by a familiar history. The author briefly comments in the Afterward that they feel "still very much a beginner", but that lack of 'maturation' in no way inhibits them from making an intriguing and engaging novel. It could, perhaps, be gleaned from their writing style; but... more>> the story does a fine job of drawing you in such that you don't feel like you're looking at the words, but instead are seeing the scene (and I am also not one to talk about having an unrefined writing style).

In summary, I feel that Sugar Dark is an 8/10. Good. Enjoyable. Not perfect, but quality nevertheless. <<less
