points only deducted because i wanted more seryu :P but i imagine the sequel will feature him at length.
amazing read and i loved the settings very much. they felt real and familiar. it reads almost like a bedtime story, in that it advances pretty linearly and i am always eager for the next step in the plot. i loved our love interest, our main character and all the side characters.
i found that despite their motives being justified, there were just too many catty/jealous/mean female characters. its always off-putting to me. was happy to see one of them resolved at the end though.
