Poisoned by Jennifer Donnelly
5.0

"Kindness is many things. It is gentle. Tender. Tolerant. It is born of patience and faith. And sometimes, yes, it's dangerous. But to try to understand another creature, to put ourselves in their place, to help them--even when it costs us--that shows strength, not weakness."--from Poisoned

Every character, from the chef spider, to the grave robber enriched the story, but Oman was definitely my favorite. She didn't believe in cutting Princess Sophie any slack and demanded that she take accountability for saving herself instead of waiting on a man or a prince to do it for her.
