3.0

- I didn’t really like the book: the idea is great, but poorly executed
- I think the main problem is that there’s too much going on (I don’t understand why Wab had such an elaborate backstory, and then it served almost no purpose)
- anyways, it was okay

I absolutely loved this book! It is beautifully written and kept me engaged the whole time. The world-building and story telling is excellent. Cannot recommend enough!
