this was genuinely terrible but i had a lot of fun. just don't ask me to explain the world-building because it was paper thin

▷ Representation: Ryon (mc) is brown; Esra (sc) is nonbinary & uses he/him pronouns; minor f/f side couple.

I maybe would have liked it more if I hadn't read it right after an SJM. The romance in particular just wasn't as smooth, but I liked it. And that cliffhanger! Can't wait for the second.

I really enjoyed this book. I felt the action moved along the plot well, and the characters are fun. The romance is a big  factor in the book as well, so watching that develop was expected but still a fun read.

I loved seeing a strong woman as the protagonist and how her relationships evolved due to her nature. A reason I did give it a 4 and not higher was I wish the book was told in her POV, not a 3rd person POV. I feel if it was from hers, we’d get to know a bit more about her relationship with Ryon, and her thoughts regarding her experiences more. I do enjoy their relationship and the development of it, but I think it could be a deeper connection between them.
