this was a fun read and i’m excited to read not only the other books in the series but more by the author. the main character isn’t annoying, there are little plot twists everywhere. but i do have to say the ending was a bit disappointing, it wasn’t as intense as it should’ve been and i find that common throughout the book. moments that should’ve been tense or suspenseful we’re lacking , and so was the world building. it was so inconsistent. how do motorcycles, color tv screens , cameras and underground trains exist in this universe but they still send letters and talk like their from the 1800’s but also still have balls but then wear boots and jeans occasionally? i wish it made more sense because then maybe the book wouldve been a better read, i hope the other books are less disappointing.
