Quick disclaimer: This book was offered to me by www.booksirens.com in exchange for an honest review.
I read the book in like, four hours. Really engaging, in my opinion. Got one video on Booktube on the same as well.
I loved the world-building. A LOT. I mean, the world-building is amazing. Cool planets, yet cooler landscapes and YET COOLER Schools.
I mean, many disagree and yes, to some extent, this book gets a bit too lazy on that thing but honestly, I'll give it for it.
The character dev is amazing. The way Aidan transforms from the #chosenone to actually being the big protagonist. Yes, Fig and Palomas are simply developed, but if Legacy and Masay can do that at the very last moment, then the point is clear that it can happen.
Also, the adults are not dumb/abusive/dead guys but General Estrago is known to be a hero of this book and do not forget, Dir. Tuskin is not the GOOD ruler but the ruthless dictator
The plot? I love it, or to say it to some extent. (insert shoulder shrug).
And yeah, there is some stuff which has caused me to take away one star.
Number one- the book is SOOOO bland at the ending. it's not like I love 'HEA' endings but YEAH, it is not the resolution of the conflict either.
Number two- How do you know it, but there is a very large chunk of shameless crudeness in this one. jokes, events and more jokes about Capt. Solsti
In all, I loved this one, and recommend it to someone looking for a good sci-fi read on a rainy day....
