I really liked this book. The world building was what I was looking for. But imma be 100 w u. I did not care about the main character outside of the fact that he was the main character. The writing was alright. Nothing amazing or deliciously poetic, but good enough to not make me mad all the time. The characters were so, cliché but also unique but also sooo annoying. All n all it was a really good first book. I was hooked and entertained throughout.
