Theodora, or Dora as she is more frequently refered to, is an excellent main character for this tale. I love that her personality, though dulled due to having only half her soul, is still kind, and she has wit and humour well intact for her banter with Elias.
I did not like Elias at first, he was especially crude for some reason, but fortunately for the book, this crudeness was left behind after the first couple of chapters and subsequently Elias's character much improved on me.
The tale itself was intriguing, side-characters were given their own lovable qualities, and gave me all the heart-warming, joyful adoration I was hoping to find when I picked up this tale.
