I truly adored this book. It was brimming with non-stop action that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The characters were extremely well-developed. I found myself thoroughly enjoying all of the jokes they cracked, even during the most intense and serious moments. It was highly entertaining and managed to keep me completely occupied.
One of my absolute favorite characters is Ichigo. I think he is incredibly powerful, yet also has a great sense of humor that makes him even more endearing. Another favorite of mine is Yoruichi. I believe she is highly skilled and constantly pushes Ichigo to become stronger, which is really inspiring.
However, there are a couple of characters that I didn't quite like. Byakuya Kuchiki is one of them. I think he should have chosen to save his sister from being executed rather than assisting in the process. I also have a dislike for Gin Ichimaru. I have a feeling that he is going to turn out to be a bad person as he is very mean to the other characters.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
