2.0

I really liked the sense of setting and atmosphere throughout the story. I really didn't like the character work. Most of the characters felt stale and flat, and it felt like the author has a list of characteristics for everyone, and just reads over the list before they write each scene. The conflict between different bullet points on the list, and the conflict between bullet points, and the conflict between those characteristics and the plot are never really addressed in any way.
