I enjoyed this book. I would categorize as new adult since the writing feels YA but with adult themes. I thought the world interesting but overall I found it predictable. It is almost a stream of conscious style, and I still can’t tell if jumps of time from one paragraph to the next bug me or are a good technique. Either way… I am excited to read the next book and follow the journey.
