I've seen complaints that MC is a bit too perfect, and I can see why that could be said. But... holy cow was it nice to read about someone competent not making stupidly bad choices. The relationships between the characters were so enjoyable. Deep, platonic friendships and caring were just a joy to read about. I would have liked having many of them as friends. 

Slow paced with a lot of dialogue, I'm almost surprised I enjoyed this book as much as I did.
