Strong character development: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was disappointed by this since there was so much hype and build up, but I found it predictable, preachy, and pretty slow at times. I liked Nora okay but I guess I was expecting something more fantastical and adventurous rather than reflective. I was honestly sort of glad when it ended, even though the ultimate "lesson" felt like nothing original really, and made the journey to get there feel a bit like time wasted.
