- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.5
Reread 12/3/23. 4.75/5 stars. Minus .25 star for the weird fatphobia in the final chapter, and low level but pervasive homophobia towards the main villain?
