The Merciless King of Moore High by Lily Sparks
4.0
TYSM to NetGalley and North Star Editions for this ARC!
I had a really great time with this book! I didn't know what expect going in and was pleasantly surprised by the layered plot of political intrigue (seasoned with a heavy dose of teenage drama, of course)
I enjoyed how the large cast of characters in their various factions showed the many ways people might react to an apocalyptic event like this, especially in complete isolation between schools. On the note of different schools, would loooove to see how the other schools in town have handled everything in future books! The characters each had their own distinct voice and point of view, so the conflicts that arose made sense and genuinely seemed difficult to resolve peacefully due to their fundamental differences in worldview.
I'm not typically a love triangle person and the whole forced-Leo-dating was a liiiittle contrived for me, but all around I didn't mind (and sometimes even enjoyed!) the romance between Kay and Brick. Good for them!
Also I'm sooo excited for the messiness next time Nirali and Merlin see each other hehehe
