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.

This has potential and I’m interested to see where the second book takes this. I think the plot moves just a bit too slowly and the character weren’t developed enough. I did enjoy the world building and think it could be a good start depending on what the second story does.
