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

I'm not sure what I expected when I started this book. I am so confused, but in an unexpectedly satisfactory way.
This is a fantasy adventure, okay? It 100% is, and we have a diverse cast of characters on a quest, fighting scenes, sorcery, and some great dialogue. All the awesome things we love in a classical fantasy adventure novel. But then there are those tidbits of weird information. Glimpses of "something else" going on. You end up wondering if you missed something, or if this all going to end up in one big reveal at the end. Which we got, but not *everything* was revealed.
This should be frustrating, but it's not. Or rather just a little. 
Might need that book II... I can't live like this.
