• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Practically a perfect book. I both wish I had the finess and talent to write this, and wish that I could erase it from my memory to experience for the first time again. <The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the ending DESTROYED me and I was so upset. Have high hopes for the rest of the series though. Edit: upon review, and after reading Harrow the Ninth, it absolutely gets 5 stars :).>
