3.5
I feel mixed about this book. The premise was really interesting, and there was so much potential in this world. However, I don't think the world building was done to it's full capacity. The story overall felt like it could have used more description and backstory to bring readers up to speed at the beginning.
However, the characters themselves definitely add to the story and help when sometimes the plot felt like it was dragging. I may not have loved this as much as other people, but it was still an enjoyable read.
