• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

i finally picked it up after a fourth try. i bought this book in 2020, preloved, very cheap, along with the third installment. it was really slow, so it's understandable when anyone would have just stopped reading it. when i say slow, it means it's reaally.. slow. but one hundred pages later (though it was still slow paced), i came to love the characters. the writer really has a way of describing the characters and mostly i think you'll find it more than the plot itself? but that way, you will love the characters... the plot in the first installment is okay, you got an interesting background story and all that but i continued reading the second book bc i wanted to see them again.
