adventurous challenging fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

This is another case of the movie altering my feelings about the book. Other volumes may erase the pacing issues I found within this volume but I am not compelled to seek them out and read them. This volume raised many questions but I don't feel it raised enough intrigue for most of them to feel important.
