Even though this was not a YA book... it still kind of read like one. Except there is sex and people swear more often. Interesting plot and was a fun read, though!

Horribly boring cover. A mashup of Umbrella Academy and Fringe, if thats even possible. Part One was different than the rest of the book, it was the more adulty, not sure if this is even a fantasy novel part. Then things got weird, and Kylo Ren (jk, buuuut yeah) appears and things continue to get weirder and weirder. The twists are easy to spot, but it was still great and such a breathe of fresh air to have a fantasy that was different than the usual.

Loved this book! You can tell that this is a YA writer, but I like that it was easy to read and very entertaining. Can’t wait for the next books in the series!

Sloane's character is incredibly written. The layers of her PTSD, her depression, and a general feeling of being lost were interacted very realistically. The concept question "what happens to a chosen one after they save the world?" is answered in detail by Sloane's character. But we also get glimpses into different potential reactions because the "Chosen One" is actually a group. Each chosen one one felt like a very real and true possibility.
The book created a driving plot and storyline from the initial question, one that didn't feel forced or tacked on. I am very curious how there is a sequel, because this book wrapped up all the loose ends.
