the plot was really slow, and things don’t really pick up until halfway through. i didn’t mind it as much. each of the siblings were really fleshed out, similar in some personality traits, but different enough that they felt like individuals and not one person multiplied by four. my favorite was kaleb, especially with his mixed identity that i could relate to. 

the sibling dynamics were truly everything.
