Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Loveable characters:
Yes
I wasn’t expecting a lot coming into this but honestly?? I loved it!! This book was whitty and fast, the characters were all lovable! I truly didn’t want to put it down or finish it!
I loved that the characters had complex and unique back stories, I was questioning everyone and their motives the whole time I was reading. The world is expansive but it makes sense! The place this really shows up in the writing, everyone has their own voice!! All six of them! From Aeirie sounding childish and silly to Royo who reads as a more blunt character. Everyone was so unique!! I literally can’t wait to read book 2!!!
