Thank you SO MUCH for allowing me to read this advanced copy. I love these authors so much, and I am so excited that I got to read this early! Especially because I was just... soo... SO. Blown away by this. It was such a mix of sci-fi and fantasy, but it worked SO WELL. And I really loved their first series together, I loved These Broken Stars!! But this book... man. MAN. I can just tell how much they’ve grown in their craft with this one! It’s better! In a good way! The TWISTS. There were some that I could pick at and see with foreshadows, but there others that snuck up on me! And I LOVED THAT. And I’m so glad this is a series, because I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. (I won’t ask them here, I am not aiming to spoil!) So yes. I loved it. It was brilliant and amazing. And I absolutely highly recommend it, and I cannot wait to hand sell this at my library!

I picked this book because the story seemed interesting, but I didn’t have any other interest on it. I’ve listened the audio version and I think it made it even better.

I enjoyed the two main characters, Nimth and North, stories. How the contrast of science vs magic is presented in the story, is beautiful. The world building is complex, yet intriguing and entertaining. It doesn’t feel the story drags on just for the sake of doing it, and it isn’t complicated to understand.

I enjoyed that although the two characters are so different (up and down, tech vs magic, future vs past), they still try to be mindful with each other and to do their upmost to understand each other’s thoughts and beliefs.

I gave this book a 4 star rating because I truly enjoyed the story.
