Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A beautifully written book, filled with conflict that felt real and powerful. The characters aren't perfect but you love them - I liked the way that the book focused on identify and interwove it in the perspective changes. The book was poignant and the world building intriguing but I didn't get too lost. I loved the inclusion of LGBT+ characters and how they were both very prevalent and naturally included in the story. The relationships between characters were so well written, complicated and messy but there's also love there so prevalent as well.

I'm excited to read the next book, especially interested to find out about the Stone Eaters and their motives.
