3.5 stars. This was a good story, and well written. The world the author built is interesting but not overwhelming and while it’s a harsh world it still ends hopeful. For me, the beginning was a little bit rough. We meet Sena, a seventeen-year old who has undoubtedly had a hard life. While I would say it makes sense considering her background, it was still hard to watch her making bad decisions and self-sabotaging for the first 25% of the book. Additionally, the race doesn’t actually start until around the 50% mark so while the writing kept me interested I did get impatient to actually see the main event start.
