Strong character development:
Yes

No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
Definitely a novella unlike anything I’ve read before. While the story gave me much to think about and I liked Solomon’s writing, I found it difficult to get into. I liked Yetu and Oori and the wajinru, but wasn’t truly invested in any part of the story.
