Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
I loved how the author was able to introduce unique and multi-layered characters quickly. Just as some things seemed to drag the perspective would change. Some things were maybe foreshadowed too heavily, but I eagerly awaited the reveal. I agree with some criticisms of the MC being too out of line with the era, but I think the author addressed that throughout the plot.

Content Warnings - There are some very heavy topics explored in this book (sometimes in surprisingly light ways).
