• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

I'm assuming you've read the description, so no synopsis. This is an engaging story, it kept me turning pages and wanting to know what was going on and what would happen next. The art is gorgeous, the landscapes are strange and otherworldly, and we get a decent sense of the characters if not an in-depth feel for them. That ending though! If there isn't more to come, that ending is bullshit. We got an idea of what was happening, what was going on beneath what we were told at the beginning, but we didn't get nearly enough, unless the point is for me to make up my own story about it. A great read and I absolutely recommend it, but be prepared to be annoyed by the very open ending.
