Powerful female lead ✔️
Cute monsters ✔️
Good writing ✔️

The only downside is not knowing if a sequel is coming

It's a good read--dark topics, but told in clear contemporary prose, which balances out some of the really f'd up stuff. I loved the blend of SF and fantasy.

I could not stop reading. I really loved (or hated) the characters. World building and explanations were seamlessly intertwined with the story and made it really enjoyable. The only thing I do not like (I know it is really personal) is that it is not a standalone, no cliffhanger but I really want to know what happens next! (Which I think is is a good thing about the book in the end) 
I cannot wait for the next book.
