been struggling with reading a lot this year, and ended up pausing halfway through this book before finally continuing it recently. i was actually quite excited to keep going when i got back into it but honestly ended up finding the rest of the story quite lackluster. i think McKinney showed great attention to detail in terms of worldbuilding but while i liked most of the characters, something about many of them also felt flat to me. i probably won't continue the series.
