Love them

"The characters are likeable at least, if not loveable. I, for one, fell for the protagonist Rin pretty soon, as I'm sure plenty of other readers will fall for one of the Round Table members. Each of the seven band members have their conflict, many in pairs, but Rin's more dramatic ones are readily resolved, leaving her central and lovelier one for the end. They win your heart with their flaws and frailties before you are made fully aware of their merits beyond their stage persona. The tender nature of their build-up towards sex is one more endearing factor. The dialogue throughout the novel is strong and fluid, making the characters and their relationships full of life. Their exchanges feel fresh, spontaneous, and charged with strong feelings when they are due. This novel clearly reads as an opener to a saga, since strong characters show up close the end, and the family conflicts that loom from earlier on are left partially resolved and looming larger. If you find the tags and descriptors appealing, then you definitely should give it a try. "
