- Diverse cast of characters? Yes

The book hints that Vienne has albinism, but then has to add that she has some sort of magical powers, like stereotyping a person with albinism isn’t a problem. It’s also the first in the series to include even a hint of magic, and it leans in hard. I couldn’t connect with the characters in this one, and I was disappointed that there were extremely limited interactions with very few side characters.

Zoey 😭😭😭 this is my absolute favorite book in what is genuinely one of my favorite series. I didn’t think that a series about alien hordes could be one of my all time faves, but it is. Read it in one sitting and I absorbed every moment. The writing??? Is so good??? And the plot??? This one for sure has my favorite dynamic with the romance and the characters have such interesting backgrounds. And that last big moment 👀 incredible. Too be honest the covers give a vibe of maybe more of a regular run of the mill alien romance but these are so much more, I cannot recommend enough
