  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Really enjoyed the writing and world-building. The art is spectacular, on another level, and largely contributes to my rating. The art alone is five stars. Not a perfect five because at times the pacing felt too fast and confusing alongside the more complex information coming at you.
