Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Aaaahhhh screaming, crying, etc.
Just such perfect fantasy, great worldbuilding and fantastic pacing throughout. The development of the mystery felt really natural and the twists were unexpected but never random. All the characters felt very real and acted according to their own motivations. Only wish the ending would have been more grand and epic to befit the build-up, it did end up feeling a little rushed, or too neat somehow. Still, what a ride.
