Aetherbound by E.K. Johnston
3.0
challenging dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Took awhile for conflict to set up, and parts of the plot that should have been exciting seemed, at best, background chatter. I felt there was the potential for certain things to happen, that didn't. Or, without getting too spoilery, certain kindnesses that could have been extended and weren't. Overall, interesting concept and plot but things didn't quite come together as well I thought they could have.
