jazzyjbox 's review for:

The Floating World by Axie Oh
4.5
adventurous dark sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Whoever thought to describe this book as "lighthearted", I fear for what you think is dark for YA. Be warned, there are a lot of dark, heavy topics from child soldiering to murder to experimentation on kids. 

I mostly enjoyed this adventurous story. I can definitely see the Final Fantasy vibes in it. I really like Sunho and Ren together and all they overcome. I'm very curious to see what happens in the next book and am so glad we don't have to wait super long to find out! 

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review.
