Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The time travel in this book makes little sense. But that's okay, because it's simply a device to reach the point, which is less about time travel and more about people.

There are some very well-presented insights into culture and cultural transition. Some of my favourite parts of this book were when past and present attitudes were compared.

The pace was a bit off in the middle - lots of rehashing the same ground. But the end made up for it. A solid 4/5.
