adventurous
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
4.0
Definitely going to finish this series, but my interest is starting to wane (I started the fourth when it came out two months ago and have barely made it past the 10% marker)
I love love Poppy and Casteel, they're sweeties that deserve the world, but the whole "I have a question" "big surprise" banter is getting to me, as it seems to be the only way things are explained - I'm sure there are more effective story building methods out there
If I reviewed this right after finishing it (way back in Jan I think, now June) I might've given a 4.5 or closer to 5 star bc I was caught up in the swell of it all, which isn't a bad thing, but time and space has made me view it a little more critically lol
