Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I did enjoy the first half, I thought it was well written and the author did a really good job at immersing us into the books environment. But the last 200 pages felt dull and I was expecting more of what had been sprinkled in in the beginning. I feel like she was a bit too ambitious at first and couldn’t really make the ship sail and added useless elements towards the end to make it end into a clash but I didn’t buy into it. A bit disappointed tbh
