Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
A thought-provoking story, especially after reading the author's history in the translator's introduction. It took a few chapters for me to get invested. As soon as the titular characters, Master and Margarita, showed up I didn't want to put the book down. It could have been done without the use of slurs, and the use of black people has nothing but slaves/objects to the story.
