  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I really enjoyed the first two parts of the book. The historical insights on afghan history and all the little details about afghan culture/customs/foods were very endearing. I enjoyed the characters and they all felt very human with their flaws, especially the main character. The plot is very heavy at times and the third arc was my biggest gripe, since it had a lot of  very contrived and "convenient" plotpoints.
