The character development is good and meaningful, and it is evident in how the plot is driven by the characters. I could understand the plot progression from the lens of the characters. The character really connect with the story and that is what I really love the book for.

I enjoyed the character's development but I feel their backstories weren't fully explored. I feel the author should have expanded more on their backstories.

The individual traits of each character was fully displayed by the author. I did not feel like any character was lacking while reading the book. The author did a good job developing the characters.

Surely. Each character played a definitive and unique role, as the author allowed their personalities shine through.

I loved all the characters and being able to witness their deifferent point of views. Dorinda was a character I didn't care for at first but then came to understand and like her a little. Each character was developed and organized, each with their own personality and background.

Yes, definitely. The character development of the story is one of the major things that stood out to me. Almost every character was adequately developed and their personal growth was evident throughout the story.

No, the development of the characters was not all that good. This is because most of them didn't stay long in the story. Some died without proper development, therefore I didn't really feel their loss. The main characters grew on me as the story progressed.

Yes, I think so. The author poured his entire dedication into the development of the characters in this book. When Luta and others tried to cross the thunder valley, they had to face some gruesome situations. Some of them died. Still, the author took his time to expand the background of the little characters too. Their pains and sufferings are deeply impacting the readers.

The author did a great job with character development. I think Dorinda is a great example. She initially comes off as very rude, mentally unstable and aggressive. However, by the end of the book she's calmer and more likeable.

I believe that the central characters were developed well and that their significance in their story was appropriate. In some cases, Ramirez used them to later enrich the character (like the princess, for example, whose character arc got richer as the story unfolded). Some minor characters (like members of The Great Migration journey) lacked some depth. However, it did not damage the quality of the story.

Indeed. The author did wonderful job in development of characters and their impact on the plot of the book. Through its characters, the author beautifully portrayed human power, resilience and interconnectedness.

Yes, the story features well-developed characters like Bellona, King Cortez, Sergeant Cordero, and Laena, adding emotional depth and relatability. The diverse cast adds depth and realism, with their personalities, motivations, and relationships adding depth to the plot.

I feel the character development was appropriate. All the characters had their own unique place and stories within. It was very engaging to read and made the storyline more interesting.
