I wanted to rate this book higher because I loved the Sisterhood and the First Sister herself. 
I was thrilled by the complexity of the world building with its characters at the beginning but soon I found myself dreading reading certain character's POV despite enjoying the character itself.

Choosing to make Hiro's POV audio messages instead of letters or something else ruined it. No one speaks that way. Felt so very info dumpy that every time which is unfortunate because I do love them.

Overall an alright read that is a good setup for the next installments.
