Plot? On point. Constantly moving. Almost too breakneck, but I like that.
Romance? On point. Cute. Fraught. Root for them.
Characters? Could've been filled out a bit more IMO, but The Abyss Surrounds Us is clearly just the first half of this story. I can't wait to read The Edge of the Abyss to see what develops.

The ending however felt like a letdown.
And the love story was great till the ending as well.
Decent read but the ending sucked all my joy out.

However, this book lacked in a lot of areas. The writing was decent but I didn't connect with any of the characters or relationships, and Cas's logic was consistently disjointed and confusing. A main issue for me was that I struggled to visualise what the Reckoners looked like, so I felt like there was a huge hole in scenes as I was reading. Even though there's lots of death in this book, it never made the story feel high stakes.
I'm glad I read this but, other than the concept, the best word I can think of to describe it is average.
