Overall I had a good time with this novel, even though it became evident that so much of this is lifted directly from Fullmetal Alchemist - whether entirely intentional or not. This story ended up being much more character-focused than I anticipated; the hala hunt is a side plot, it seems, to the larger plot of getting Wes and Margaret together and facing their insecurities, fears, and grief.
