The vibes. I loved reading it and wanted to come back every time. It isnt 5/5 just because I didnt understand where we were in the space sometimes and I did not understand their age. When I started the book i thout that they were adults but they're like 18. Overall love love highly reccomand will definitly be continuing.

how do i even start..to say it simply, it’s a masterpiece! this is one of the most talented authors i’ve ever seen..her skill and intelligence is so evident in the pages that you can’t help but admire..the characters are their own entities and work well alone and together..super cool plot..i’ve got to say for me, personally, it was kinda slow at times because there are a lot of descriptions but it’s so beautifully described that you feel you are part of that world completely

anyway to conclude, HIGHLY RECOMMEND 4.75⭐️

-found family

-heist 

-angsty romance

 Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Normally books with so many POVs have portions that drag, but Chockshi largely avoids this common pitfall. Each of the characters is so well-developed, each with their own identities, background, and emotional growth. I was never preferential towards one over the others.

⁕ There are some pretty intense puzzles that are solved by the characters, many of them involving math and geometry. My brain does NOT work this way, but the drawings and explanations made what would have been intimidating actually accessible. 

⁕ The ending was throw-the-book-across-the-room type good. Without any spoilers, things got dark and the stakes got raised. I was super sad that I did not have the next in the series immediately on hand to continue reading.
