- Plot- or character-driven? Character

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
5.0
It's definitely not for anyone who finds diversity and sexuality to be offensive. It also requires you to use your own imagination, things are not spelled out for you.
Graphic: Bullying, Child abuse, Classism, Death, Abandonment, Blood, Sexual content, and Child death
Moderate: Genocide, Grief, Murder, Toxic relationship, Violence, Racial slurs, and Racism
Definitely one of the best books I have read in years.
