The characters are very diverse and their motivations are complicated, making them more interesting. For example, Kissen's disability (missing leg, burn scars) and emotional distancing were handled beautifully, and it showed her strength as an unyielding but also a loving and loved person. What I most loved reading this book were the evolving relationships between the four main characters. They all made mistakes, but found ways to own them and grow as a person by learning from them.
I can't wait to return to the worl of this book in the sequel. I'm certain I alao want to have a reread of this book some time in the near furure, that's how captivating the book is.
