This was a good and quick read. I enjoyed the idea of the book, but I honestly was not expecting the author to take this route in the story, based on what I read in the blurb- which made it interesting. I enjoyed the characters and the plot, but I do think more depth could’ve been given to both to create a more immersive story. 
My biggest problem with this book is I had a lot of difficulty with that immersion aspect. Unlike other books I’ve read, I can easily imagine the setting or the characters. And while the author has great descriptions, I still wasn’t able to picture a lot of what was happening. 
While I loved the characters, they are also detached from the reader in a way, where you know a little about them but not enough to create a connection. 
For me, this book was only a 3 star until I got to the last quarter of the book where a majority of the action took place, which also could have been elongated.
