Another terrible feeling is sighing at lines that try way too hard to be epic every few pages.
And fast-forwarding past footnotes that do absolutely nothing but slow the pacing to a crawl.
And being annoyed at the fetishy treatment of teenagers, lesbians, and brown people.
Did I actually like anything about this? Uh. The world is kind of interesting? I liked Carlotta. Ashlinn was okay.
The teachers sucked, though.
Sigh. What a waste of hours.
Solid narration by Holter Graham, however.

3.0
Things only really pick up toward the end, and I unfortunately felt everything was just easily resolved in a few chapters l. The ending leads into the next book, but was also not enough for me to pursue it. Other characters were also used as plot pushers and the betrayal and tragedy in the stories didnt hit home really, emotional wise.
I also found the pace medium to slow.
But the universe is interesting.
