  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

definitely a take on Gatsby worth reading, though it felt a little thin in terms of its own worldbuilding. I enjoyed it very much, and I'm not exactly mad at it, but I wish the fantasy world Vo created here was explored in more depth.
