3.0

I had very mixed thoughts about this book. I love the concept and the world building, but the writing fell a little flat. The concept of others absorbing the sins of the rich is such an interesting one. A lot of the characters were understandably jade, but I feel like all of the good things just kind of... plateau towards the middle and the book gets less interesting. It got more interesting towards the end, although it is the set up for a sequel (which, honestly, I don't feel all that motivated to read right now, although that may change in the future).
