3.0

I had high expectations for this third volume. I have been enjoying this series a lot; the magic vs. technology plot, the friendship, the world-building, the complex characters, the dialogue... But there was something missing from Rise of the Machines. I guess I was expecting to get more answers, more bonding from the characters, a little more of romance. I need the plot to move forward, to be more fast pacing.

Anyway, I do like The Castoffs and I am very invested in the characters and their adventures. I can't wait to read the next one.



Received a copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Well, I will definitely be reading volume 4 because I feel like the plot is finally rolling. Ursa uncovers the truth about her family, Duncan and Rosalba's rocky relationship is explained, and there is the most random-last minute romance between

Trinh and the guy who fixes her poncho.
