Jujutsu Kaisen: Summer of Ashes Autumn of Dust Novel by Ballad Kitaguni, Gege Akutami
3.25
adventurous dark lighthearted mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The writing style is kind of plain and pales in comparison to the tone of the original manga series, but I believe that's a really tricky balance when trying to write for an existing IP.  There isn't much action as well in comparison to the manga, but it feels to me that the descriptions of the characters' moods and exchanges between them were brought to justice by the author. 
Granted, I liked how the author fleshed out stories about lesser-focused characters and facets of these characters, like what Gojo does on his day off and what Ijichi's work is actually like, and even a story from Mahito's perspective.
