This feels so original in a time where many books are rinse and repeats of each other. The characters immediately felt grounded and took on a life of their own. They're not annoying or trying to be so unique that it comes off as ingenuine. Very solid characters. I also like how they interact with each other. The family aspect is really nice. Plot and world building was also very interesting and kept me engaged.
