No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Very poetic, though the prose can cause strong emotions, confusion, or just plain annoyance.
Lots happens in this book for very little main plot. More character-driven without there being any redeemable growth or character change really. Things were said to the main character that could have brought that growth but there was always just this “You need to know this important thing but I won’t actually tell you” I’m assuming it’s reserved for the second book as it’s never followed through. Story plot she wants to do this thing>>>is unsuccessful ends up in prison>>>Gets rescued >>> thinks about thing for 500 pages but only like a sentence at a time every 30 pages or so (likely to remind the reader that that is the characters main goal and not all the other stuff she’s doing)>>>Does the thing and somehow there’s no actual conclusion with it because she doesn’t know she is the one doing it since she’s taken over by her other personality
World building is only confusing I think because it’s magical. It’s a very interesting concept of how the world works but since it wouldn’t work that way on a liveable planet it’s confusing to our brains.
Overall it was enjoyable, so 3 stars and an additional half star because while the poetic-ness of it was a bit much at times, it worked well in the exciting scenes(fighting and fucking) to help you visualize.
