I’m invested enough to keep reading. I want to understand! But this book needed better editing. Setting aside the many typos, I found myself rewriting awkward sentences and phrases as I read, which is not a good sign. I can’t rate this highly because I was too distracted by the quality of the writing/editing, but I did enjoy the plot and experiencing the events unfold.

1P narrative really drags. Especial the first third. Far too much introspection. It hinders plot and dialogue   Annoyingly I’m predicting several things way before the manifest. Partly because of the writing.

I found the middle of this book to be quite slow. The beginning was good and the ending really made up for the middle. During the middle, I felt like it dragged and we were going in circles a bit. It was a routine of Poppy fighting with her emotions, threats of stabbings, lots of questions and sex.

I appreciate that many questions about the world were answered but it was a bit boring to have it where Poppy would simply ask and someone would answer.

I love Kieran calling Poppy out and telling her that she’s being ridiculous. I also feel like I was robbed of a threesome scene. They talk about the joining but then it never goes anywhere from there.

The ending was very surprising in a good way and made up for most of my dislikes of the book. I’m excited to read the next one.
