Good idea, poor execution.
This book could’ve been a hundred pages shorter. There was so much filler and there were a good four pages where characters had the NPC dialogue variations of “they’re going to find us!” “they won’t stop looking!” which I know the first time it was mentioned. The author also overexplains passed events. “That’s why _____ said _____________—“ which I could’ve put together as that event happened ten pages ago. Also a very forced romantic subplot.
