Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
The writing was beautiful - very fairytale setting and lyrical prose about nature. The main character, Diamond, was very much a Gary Stu; liked him but he felt quite unreal. The North Wind character is very similar to the grandmother in Macdonald's Princess and the Goblin/Princess and Curdie i.e. a beautiful giant woman with supernatural knowledge and powers
