A PERFECT 5 STARS! HELL, INFINITY STARS ♾️⭐️! i loved the hell out of this book and am so glad i finished it. i can’t wait to read the second one. THAT ENDING THO?? fire. i loved the characters so much, especially Kal & Finian (they’re my favorites), and i loved their bond and everything about them. the sci-fi in this was incredible, nothing like i’ve ever read before. i’m so glad i started this book, and am so thankful the authors wrote it. i loved Auri’s character a lot, and i’m happy to see her thrive and become someone new. i also loved the fact that this story is told through all of their povs. Kal’s pov will always be my favorite. it’s interesting to see his dynamic with his race, and how that affects how he treats and acts with the others. i love the banter between all of them really, but especially between Kal and Tyler. that scene with them??? forever locked in my head. i know there’s like aspects of romance in this, which i liked, but i’m hoping that it doesn’t pan out. like it’s cute to see how they interact together and all, but ehhh, i just can’t see them being together, you know? but overall, very much loved this book and it has become one of my favorites <3
