I don’t think there was a character I didn’t enjoy, no matter what side they wound up being on. The ending is of the variety where things are wrapped up, but there’s the potential for more (and an incoming sequel) because we’ve barely scratched the surface of this world.

I enjoyed how fluid the magic and supernatural elements in this world are — graspable if you understand certain rules, are willing to make sacrifices, can shift your perspective. Throughout the story are themes of accountability and forgiveness, loyalty and self sacrifice.
