What a fun, fresh, tightly-constructed book! I'm so glad I allowed the striking cover and punchy summary to pull me in. Luckily, the contents matched the exterior presentation.
The writing is proficient and clean, the characters are vivid, the worldbuilding is engrossing and unique enough to titillate, and the found family vibes are fully present.
My main issue is how quickly Bex and Adrian became devoted to one another, but honestly, I was looking for a cozy series--a bit of insta-friendship isn't the end of the world.
There are hints of romance in here, but nothing romantic actually occurs in this first book, which I appreciated.
I'll definitely be checking out the next volume.

C'était une lecture sympathique, bien qu'elle ait été bien plus longue que ce à quoi je ne m'attendais. Malgré des débuts difficiles de mon côté, où je peinais à suivre ce qu'il se passait et les éléments de lore mentionnés, le reste était très sympathique, notamment la seconde moitié du livre que j'ai trouvé bien plus prenante. L'histoire principale a coché beaucoup de mes cases et le world-building était intriguant. Les personnages quant à eux étaient attachants, bien que j'aurais aimé en apprendre un plus sur eux, je me doute que l'occasion se présentera dans les livres suivants.
