  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes

first half of the book was very slow paced but it picked up after. can’t fault the book since it’s clearly a first in a trilogy. loved that the different character cross paths which makes it fun to recognize them throughout the book. the plot came together really well and i’m looking forward to seeing where it’s taken in the next books.
