  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

If only young me had known this book existed, I simply do not know who I would be. We've got gender in spades, we've got bisexuality in almost every character, we've got sword wielding girl-bosses, we've got a town over run with scoundrels and rogues in every alleyway, we've got long parted secret lovers, we've got the besties of all time, we have tragic back story, we have rakish back story, we've got it all!
