• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This book packs an entire trilogy's worth of plot points into 350 pages. I don't mind that it's a standalone at all, but none of the events are given time to breathe or the room to examine their emotional impact on the characters, and the narrative tone feels at odds with the sometimes oddly modern dialogue.
