Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was really strong! Super interesting premise, love the way the mystery unfolded and I really liked all the characters. What was said here about race and identity was very well done as well. And I loved the casual tie in to the Egyptian Gods- I personally think it was left just open enough to not be grating. Really good overall. I will say the subplot with Chris was not handled super well towards the end, wish we had gotten a definitive answer on that. Love the ending too!
