Overall very rushed, and the author’s writing style was rather elementary. It felt like a YA plot at a sixth grader writing level.
A lot of violence was unnecessarily graphic and there was a lot of info dumping/exposition. The world building and imagery also weren’t too clear. I really wish the author hadn’t used present tense with third person though; it ticked me off and I don’t even know why.
But the plot was good and very interesting, and the drama kept me turning the pages. I just think the author rushed the writing too much.
