Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful, vivid writing with many metaphors. Imagines Achilles' and Patroclus' special relationship in the Iliad as explicitly romantic given same sex relationships were purportedly not atypical in Greek society.
