What a fun, fresh, tightly-constructed book! I'm so glad I allowed the striking cover and punchy summary to pull me in. Luckily, the contents matched the exterior presentation.
The writing is proficient and clean, the characters are vivid, the worldbuilding is engrossing and unique enough to titillate, and the found family vibes are fully present.
My main issue is how quickly Bex and Adrian became devoted to one another, but honestly, I was looking for a cozy series--a bit of insta-friendship isn't the end of the world.
There are hints of romance in here, but nothing romantic actually occurs in this first book, which I appreciated.
I'll definitely be checking out the next volume.
