🌟🌟🌟½ (3.5 stars) 

The world-building takes the lead early in the story, with a strong focus on scene-setting. I didn’t fall in love with it straight away, but I really enjoyed the concept and would definitely be open to reading more from this author in the future. 

At times, I felt confused about where the plot was heading, but there were a few solid mic drop moments that kept me engaged and curious enough to keep going. 

One standout element was the LGBTQ+ representation—it was woven into the story naturally and added depth without feeling tokenistic. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, @LittleBrownBookGroup_UK, for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
