Very YA, your typical savior not like other boys, just didn’t care about any of the character and the magic system mumbo jumbo was too heavy

I received an e-ARC and am willingly leaving a review. I really enjoyed this book! I'm usually not one for YA but this felt a bit more like NA, and it had all of the things I love: a well-developed fantasy world, flawed characters, romance, politics, and a plethora of queer characters!

I do feel like the relationship was a bit rushed, and I wish there was more build up to the romance that seemed to blossom from only a few interactions. But overall, I really enjoyed the plot and would highly recommend it!

I like the idea of Zodiac/astrology signs manifesting powers in people who live on another planet. My main issue was that everything felt rushed. The story was fast paced, but at the expense of getting to know the characters.

I might pick this back up at some point but I just can’t get into it right now!

This felt very YA to me. Overall world building concept was good, but all these random technologies did not add up, how they got there and the why and the nuance of character building was just not there for me.
