The world building was a bit chaotic. A lot of new ideas that weren't quite executed or thought all the way through. Really hope book two can bring things together.

DNF. The characters are one dimensional and so completely juvenile. I cannot stand either main character/ POV. The world building leaves so much to be desired, and I am not invested in the least to figure out what the mystery is. ALSO, the young mechanic girl with black curls!?….. just a blatant thief of the character from Atlantis movie!? Come on now.

couldn't even finish the first chapter, I'm trying to go back to reading, but it ain't happening with a world where bikes are so relevant
