  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Amazing mix of mystery, noir, and magic realism.  There are a lot of characters to keep up with and the first half is a bit slow, but it all comes together in a spectacular ending. The pacing and the set up makes a lot more sense in the context of the overall story.
