I missed Kai’s presence in much of this story. It felt very episodic for most of the novel. I was relieved that though the world building was dark, there wasn’t an increase in the trauma on the page. I think I’ll enjoy this more upon rereading. The theme of found family is the main one, and I was distracted by Kai’s absence too much to appreciate it.
