  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

All of the characters felt like stereotypes (of course everyone is in love with the opera diva) and I don’t know why the author made a poor attempt to humanize the kidnappers without putting any effort into examining their point of view in a political sense.
