• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Read it in a day in about two sittings. 

I loved how miserable El was. Her ramblings. How she got caught up in her emotions. 

I love that the world building was just plopped in at random moments. You’re kind of just thrown in an expected to keep up. 

I have thoughts about the characters but we’ll see in book two.
