Reading from Kasey's perspective in the first half of the book was challenging for me ngl simply because there's so much technical language that makes sense for her character but I just found it difficult to understand. And again, that makes complete sense once you get to know her.
The book really picks up after you manage to get through the beginning. I read the majority of this book in the last few days, that's how enraptured I was.
This book is definitely something I feel like I should read again in the future because some parts, in the first reading, flew over my head and I feel like I'd understand it better during a 2nd reading.
Sometimes I felt a bit too dumb to be reading parts of the book but I managed. Or there were parts of the world building that I couldn't find myself imagining or creating a proper image for in my head but that's okay, it didn't ruin the experience for me all that much.
