While I didn't outright dislike this book, I was disappointed reading it. In fact, I almost DNFed it after the first few chapters. The writing style was this book's biggest downfall; the writing was amateurish and sometimes felt very awkward to read. I liked Mingshin for the most part, she made smart decisions and didn't annoy me. Eventually, I started rooting for the romance between Mingshin and Jieh and I liked all the friendships.

The pacing of the story was fine but the world-building could have used a little more work.

Thank you to Netgalley and Union & Co. for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
