Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I have so many thoughts that I don’t even know where to start. There’s a lot of twists and betrayals, but also redemption arcs for several characters. The worldbuilding was really cool here, but there could have been more about the “heavenly court” and the lore there, but I assume there will be more in the next book.
