I really enjoyed this book! The world building and character development were amazing, but the narrative does have some inconsistent pacing (this didn’t bother me too much, but it would be a fault for someone who enjoys books with a very well developed plot). I also really liked the sapphic side romance and the cast of characters had great diversity.
