The characters were fine but nothing about them really stuck out to me aside from the minor OCD representation. Ultimately, I just couldn't really come to get invested into any of them. The plot did present a fairly interesting tale of magic and adventure although in my case was just not gripping enough. While the author tried to throw in some twists, everything was just too predictable. One of my bigger critiques for this book was how it handled jumping from one character's perspective to another. I have read many books where authors have the perspectives of multiple characters and love it, this book was disappointing on the writing front. One character would be doing something and there will be a moment when their perspective intersects with the other. But then the chapter ends and switches perspectives, the book would go backtrack and redo the same lead up. While there are times when having the perspective of each character for the same event can be nice, having it done each change just gets repetitive quickly.
