i think this is fantastic for a debut book. there are some pacing issues as well as characters changing their entire life's worth of principals instantly given new information, which does not feel realistic. i fully think they would have struggled more before accepting their new ways of thinking. also the "romance" options in this story are... Something that's for sure.
