It wasn’t good. It was bad. The characters weren’t written well whatsoever. Kasey was a caricature of a neurodivergent person while Cee was a stereotypical fun girl. I hated every second of this book. Cee’s POV was must more bearable because it was fun figuring stuff out with her. Kasey’s POV wasn’t fun because it was so monotone and boring. Act was a boring rival because he had no personality. Hero was probably the most interesting because he was just trying to kill one of the main characters the whole time. Aside from the characters, the world building was… interesting. It was super hard to understand in some scenes, and maybe that’s because I’m an idiot (don’t think so though) the world is not described well and I had a hard time imagining it. The authors woke idea of trying to make a story about climate change just failed so hard. The writing wasn’t too bad but I wouldn’t read another book by this author. I did enjoy the slight representation though, I hate when authors push differences on us, so He succeeded in not annoying me in that aspect.
