I felt this story had some great ideas but overall had poor execution and if given a few more good edits and rework of plot points, could’ve been a successful series to grab attention. You’re introduced to about 13 characters within the first 5 chapters and yes, you do want to keep track of them. I also felt like some of the plot could have been refined further to make Fallon a stronger main character instead of a character with the plot happening to them.
It really saddens me as there feels like there’s great ideas for world building, but with a weak plot, unnecessary characters, and unnecessary filler, this book ultimately was a no go for me.

When I first started this book I wasn't sure I was going to connect with Fallon. I saw a few other reviews that mentioned she annoyed them.
At the start of the book Fallon is 10 or 12 and then she's 22...yet still acted like she did at the younger age. This did bother me at first...I mean how is she 22?! But after a while it made more sense. Although Fallon did live being treated as "other" by most of the people she passed...she was still very sheltered and protected.
The journey Fallon goes on is really her first experience in the world without someone familiar with her. She grows a lot on this journey and I look forward to seeing what happens in the books to come.
