Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
This was very similar to The Starless Sea (derogatory). Felt like the story was trying to be deep, whimsical, and fantastical but ended up being all fluff no substance. The relationship between the two main characters also felt extremely forced. One moment, they were strangers, then a few chapters later they had a deep and romantic connection. I thought I had skipped a few chapters somehow. Also, all of the plot twists and reveals didn’t land with the intended weight because the world’s rules are so convuluted Reading this felt like a chore, unfortunately
