I love the world building, the writing style, the characters. This book felt deeply personal to me. I especially love the little sci-fi touch in the world building. I also love the seemless integration of technology. It doesn't feel alien or misplaced. As this is the book is the first in a series I still have some questions but it doesn't feel like plot holes. The characters are multifaceted, well thought out and rounded.

I also love how the lgbtqia reps are woven into the story. I especially love Larkin and the maters.

The pacing in this bad boy is ALL over the place and it really feels like a romance author deciding to write fantasy vs the other way around. I wanted a lot more emphasis on the plot, magic system and politics, because there is some EPIC stuff going on here but instead we live in Harlow’s head for 80% of the book and the girl has some things she has to WORK ON, ok? And that is fair but it makes the book a little boring until the last 15%, which I have to say I absolutely loved. Will I be reading book two? Yes.
