3.5

This was a buddy read pick with some friends ^^
Total honestly...the MC drove me batty...a lot. I think I'm just used to reading mentally strong women regardless of circumstance or physical limitations...I personally hate the years that I felt weak and unable to escape my own nightmare...so it's really hard for me to see fictional women who remind me of that 😅
The history and lore is interesting in this universe...really hoping as the series continues we get more and more information. Also can't wait to see our MC's evolution to finding she's strong and has been strong the entire time.
I feel like there were still too many mysteries left in this first book...like I expect some from a first book but I felt like I needed a few more questions answered in order to feel more invested in the story. I do look forward to reading the second book and hopefully finding what I need to fully be invested and cheering for the characters. 🤞🏽
