Very intriguing story and very well written, you can tell a lot of love and thought was put into this novel. I absolutely looooove the concept. The main reason this wasn’t a 5 star for me was just the fact that I’m a very character driven reader, and none of the characters stand out in any way. You don’t form any attachments to anybody, and each of the human characters are just character archetypes. Both POVs were so interesting, but sometimes it could be frustrating how short the chapters could be. I would be having the time of my life and then BOOM pov change. The ending was pretty surprising, and I liked how it all wrapped up. Overall, I’d definitely recommend for fans of sci-fi!! I will be continuing in the series, but I’ll be taking a little bit of a break as it seems like the story for the second book is a bit repetitive.
