• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This series is so cute, in spite of the darker themes that are still (for now?) lurking underneath the surface. This is partially due to attempts by the adult characters to protect our younger heroes from the depths of what's going on, though things seem to be ramping up in spite of their best attempts. 

I will say I was surprised by the new information about Tartah, and his silver wash. His experience is very analogous to the disability community, and I wasn't expecting such from this series. I really liked the way he and Coco came together in the second half of this volume, and the representation of his emotions at finding a tool to make the world more accessible.
