ok like entertaining, even though it read like a YA and the author used the word “freaking” over 175 times.

I’m into this, but I definitely wish there was more world building and explanations about the Gifts. It got a bit repetitive with Oli so desperately trying to hide her gift and the reason she ran away, and the guys are total douche canoes, but I kinda get it. Also, I don’t trust Atlas. Not sure why, just a feeling I have. Hopefully the next book will flesh things out a little bit more.

So many unanswered questions and mystery, hoping they’re answered in the later books. 

The narration was at sometimes really annoying but for the most part I enjoyed the story and the info about the magic system. It’s something entirely unique and I’m interested in finding out more
