This was an enjoyable YA read, after getting past the first two chapters. I enjoyed the character Able and seeing how his inner thoughts developed throughout. I thought the writing was a little heavy handed on the romance foreshadowing, but I personally enjoyed that, lol. The world system that was created was fun and I liked that we got to explore a little of all of the planets, but because of that the story felt like it may have extended itself a little too far--a little of this, and this too, and this, etc. for example, they went through the Blind Gate and contracted Cobweb and talked to the Elders but these were all just big things that happened without much introduction and then were moved on from. The title feels a little forgettable, but this was a cute, light, spacey dystopia.
