Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

While Mercy (the MC) is incredible on her own, the world is really the main draw here. The characters are great, I really enjoyed almost all of the cast, but it's fun to see how the author manages to put many different folklore and myths into a single world and still have it be cohesive enough to tell a compelling story.

But even with so many different mythical creatures inhabiting this world, don't expect a complete and decisive explanation for how some of the various components of these beings fit together. It's the one thing I wish was better designed; vampires, werewolves, etc, they all are *too* cookie-cutter in some aspects, and I feel like they would have been better off not being so closely modeled after mainstream/majority opinion.
