I liked it, it could’ve been a five star but the beginning was quite slow, and I was very surprised at how long we stayed at this school challenge. Also, I feel that there was a lack of POC’s in this book we do have one that comes in a lot later but we also find out that Quinn is also black, but we never knew that for a while so I hope that the next book the author is a little bit more descriptive of. People, and that they have more POC representation in this beautiful big world because it doesn’t make any sense for sci-fi to not have. More POC reps
