Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

I enjoyed this. I do like a survival story and the dark academia element (I'm such a sucker for boarding schools) added a nice thrilling twist. Greer grated on me a little but the trio that came together as things came clear worked well and I'll be interested in how it all develops over coming books in the series. A solid, fun, dark and thrilling opening book.
