Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I essentially went into this blindly as it was a recommendation from my library and I'm happy I enjoyed it more than I expected it to. I think this author really knows how to create atmospheres and situations where you feel like you are in the characters' shoes (and maybe even more so because we've all just recently experienced a global pandemic). I think the characters could've had a little more work done because there seemed to be so many of them that we really only got the surface level of who they are/were. As a fan of dystopian-type stories, I think it was a relatively strong one and I'm intrigued to see how this got adapted.
