This has been my least fav Leigh Bardugo book, it just wasn't for me. It started super strong, and it's not a bad book by any means, it's just so forgettable. The plot, the world, the characters- all like dust in the wind to me. I wasn't drawn really to any of them, I found the relationships a bit forced as well.  This book feels like a summary of a really good book, but itself is stripned of the weight, emotion, and lusciou Move to Archive X I built by Bardugo. I'm probably in the mimority on this but it was mid for me.
