The characters are well fleshed out, and I enjoyed the world they lived in. Their emotions and understanding of their circumstances seemed very realistic to me. I did think the pace was a bit too quick, especially at the start. While I understood why the characters continually returned to each other, I would have liked a bit more build up as to why they were initially drawn to each other.
