No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
It was interesting, then it was a slog, then somewhere along the way people spontaneously abandoned their morals (which they maybe never had in the first place?), then everything happened, and then I was left confuzzled. I think it wasn't my cup of tea because it was, in fact, a strange brand of coffee. The author used fun descriptors, though. "But the stars aren't eternal. Most were already dead, and I was looking at ghosts." That pretty much sums up how the ending made me feel. Maybe it's a happy ending. Maybe the main character is still delusional. I’m not even sure she knows at this point.
