I enjoyed the story and the characters! I actually honestly loved the three main characters. And I like a good villain creation story, which in many ways it seemed to be. It felt too blunt and obvious though... There was no subtlety to the messaging, and very little nuance. The messaging could have been more cleverly handled and it would have made the story a lot stronger.
