OH MY GOD THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE. Finally, FINALLY, a strong five star read this year!! The writing, the world, the characters, all so vivid, fun, and intriguing. I can’t wait to read the sequel.

I liked it but i listened to it as an audio book which I don’t think I recommend. The story was hard to follow and I had to really actively use my brain while listening. It wasn’t hugely engaging. I really enjoyed the main characters. Also 0 romance which I usually like at least a little.

I think I just feel very underwhelmed by this book. I can certainly see why a lot of people I know enjoy it. There were some scenes I really liked and it was an enjoyable read, but Gideon’s dialogue was just very corny and irked me at times and Muir didn’t create the emotional impact she seemed to be trying to in some key scenes. I think I’ll probably read the sequel, though, as the use of second person narration intrigues me.
