Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It was a cool book, but I think a little bit not for me. I found it a bit slower paced than my liking at times, and I wasn't as into the story during Ouyang's POV as I was during Zhu's.

But on the plus side, the book was interesting in the focus on gender identity, one's sense of self, personal growth, and what fate really is.
