4 stars. This was more interesting than I thought it would be! Fantasy novels are pretty similar to each other - obviously, since they're the same genre - but this story felt very fresh to me. I really enjoyed it! It was darker than I expected it to be. Not super dark, but there wasn't much comic relief so it definitely read as a more serious book. It wasn't hard to read though! There was still some action and adrenaline-pumping scenes. My only complaints are how the world wasn't fully explained. I went into this expecting it to take place in a typical fantasy time period, you know when people wear tunics and stuff, and I was a bit surprised when TVs and steel doors were mentioned. Aircars and airlifts were never described in detail, so I also had a hard time picturing those. My final complaint would have to be the love triangle. It isn't that much of a love triangle compared to other YA books, but still enough to bother me. When will authors get the memo? Still, this was a solid YA fantasy book and I'll definitely read the sequel when it comes out!
