"Never create a monster you aren't able to contain."
This book was such a journey, it is definitely a genre bender and so refreshing in that sense.
Loved not knowing what to expect or where the story was going.
Loved the genre bending to include a little bit of something for everyone.
And I get so excited to research other subjects mentioned or connected to the story, this did a great job of bringing new things to my attention to learn about.
I think what kept me from the 5th star is that sometimes I wasn't fully invested during slow story building time (ex: on the ship), and I do have more questions. But I'll have to wait for the next book! (Which I am very much looking forward to.)
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Booksirens!
