Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was such a pure, brilliant, loving story that deals with so many themes and it was incredibly refreshing. Rebellious Prince drafted into a marriage with a reserved diplomat with a dash of muder, mystery and brooding - chaos exploads. 

First of I just want to say that the world was incredible. The gender fluid and queer accepting society just made my heart so happy. 

It was more political focused than romance driven but I didn't mind that - it was refreshing to have a story focus on other aspects other than a relationship. I was expecting a lot of science fiction elements but it was more planet based, with a complex structured world that was explained effortlessly and it was easy to fall into with the characters.
