everyone is so petty, lovelorn, funny, and interesting. the flashes of crazy dark thoughts and the septimus storyline gave such a valuable weight to the time and place of this novel. truly transportive.

That being said though, I just generally tend to prefer novels that are more rooted in their characters and their characters' relationships, hence why this isn't one of my favourite novels of all time. Still a good one though.
