Such a fun read!! I loved getting to know Hallie and Kase (I loved their chemistry!) and I thought the world building was intriguing. I am looking forward to the next book!!

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Some of the other reviews I read had me worried but I actually liked this enough to read the next one. I think that it was such an interesting mix of Treasure Planet and (in my opinion) Atlantis the Lost Empire. I did find the main characters to be a little immature and, though some of their banter was great, other moments between them felt shallow and forced. The twist at the end was also a little confusing because it seemed like it came out of nowhere and then wasn’t explained. I’m hoping for the next book to dig in to it more
