• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

I found parts of this book engaging, especially parts 1 and the ending.  I also preferred Brin’s sections because I found her more compelling.

While I didn’t always like the middle, I do appreciate the growth of the characters, and how they handled each twist.
