  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No
I picked up this book because it was on the same table as V. E. Schwab and Brandon Sanderson (high/ epic fantasy). Turns out this book is a historical fiction and tragedy, which I don't necessarily enjoy outside of television. 

However, the book was well-written and compelling enough for the length. I wish it could have been longer because character transformation took about half the book and as a result, the remaining plot that contained the political intrigue and resolution felt comparatively shallow.
