dliterate's review against another edition
5.0
So, here's the thing. I could pick this apart a little bit, if I really wanted to. There are definitely a lot of questions I could pose about the plot; and I'm a little unclear about how exactly the world works, especially when it comes to modern conveniences and technologies...
But here's the thing: I don't care about any of that. I'm going off pure vibes alone in this review, and the reality is that this made me feel good. It was so much fun! I was even emotionally invested enough that I may have had a bit of wetness in the corner of my eyes once or twice (but animals being cute can do that, so don't get too excited, I'm just a big baby).
I would like to apply to be Niya's friend, and if anything happens to her...well, I won't be happy.
Rating: 5/5, would read again, and I will fight you all in a series of random events to get my hands on an early copy of the sequel.

Represention was so amazing in this novel!
Middle of the book got a little bogged down in the details but the ending was amazing! I also love that these kids were written like actual kids, who make impulsive and immature decisions at time, which not all fantasy authors do very well.

Full disclosure, I wasn’t going to be able to finish this book anyway due to the fact that I checked it out from my library and I am about to move part way across the country, just frankly I willingly gave up on this book. The usage of random pop culture references shattered any sense of a well developed world and the characters weren’t all that likeable! Someone described this as Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games but no, those books don’t deserve this comparison.
