Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The main character Rin definitely didn’t develop more as a character but really seemed to dig her heels further into the trope of being a single minded solider. It was also quite disappointing that the main villain of the first book was humanized more and left alive by the end of it when the main drive of this book was getting revenge and ending the villain. Now the surrounding characters Cenka, Kitay, Nezha and even the Cike had more development in this book but it was also another let down that they didn’t have enough of the spotlight and for a good chunk of this book the Cike were all but an after thought which does add the the main characters overall flat lack of development.
