I didn’t dislike this book, it holds a lot of promise and the concept was interesting. HOWEVER the stakes didn’t feel high enough, the plot was predictable and slow, and the ending was abrupt. The plot and/or character development was not always moved along through actual storytelling, but by summing up conversations or actions that happened “off the page” in dialogue later on - this is a major pet peeve of mine. I enjoyed the premise and the story overall, but it fell short of expectations.
