Wow. Just wow. Adrienne Young’s writing has improved by a million times since Sky in the Deep. The characters are much more developed and the story is pretty smooth. I’m obsessed and excited to read the next book!

I enjoyed this well enough! It was a quick read and some parts were fun. The twist was good - I thought it would go a different way! I liked the characters. I think there were just some things that bugged me. The characters aren't very well developed for how many there are - I had to keep reminding myself who the hell Hamish was 😅 I think there was too much "keeping secrets" and it made the characters under developed. And I obviously haven't read the second book but I feel like things could have been cut to be one book... 

My biggest annoyance? Fable continually refers to her mom by her first name which I found so weird for a teen. It made sense for her dad but not for her mom, who she was close to and lost... 
Anyways. If I can find the second book inexpensive then I might read it 😅
