I really liked the plot, it is interesting and makes us want to keep reading. The girls are very relatable, their behaviours, wants and needs are well befitting their ages. The love story is very adorable, innocent and young. I also appreciate the way the story explores the love/hate relationship between the girls and Ocean - Ocean is portrayed as being good and bad, cruel and kind, possessive and understanding the same amount.
The only negative thing that I can point is the way the ending is rushed. I spent so much time watching Kahlen being depressed and making everyone around her miserable, and towards the end, when we needed a little more time do process everything that is happening, the plot just moves along so quickly that I think that some of the magic is stolen from the readers

“We were stars, we were music, we were time.”
The ending was a bit rushed and random for me. The ocean is toxic. The romance could have been developed a bit more.
