Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
It started out a little slow and I got lost with the descriptions of the bridge and the lay out in the beginning.
But towards the middle it really pulled through and the pace picked up. A very creative/original idea that was executed well. I want to read more from this writer now!
Loved Aren and Lara as characters, especially Aren. It seems incredibly difficult in the fantasy genre to write a self-assured confident man that is also humble and empathetic. Lara was written as a morally grey character but you still understood her motivations and she has a redeeming arc throughout.
The ending was bold and it was a risk, but I think it worked. It gave the necessary depth to the story and I'm excited for book 2.
The ending is a bit brutal and it does end on a cliffhanger.
