3.0

there were a lot of bits and pieces of this book that were interesting enough for me to read the entire thing, and the writing itself held up fairly well throughout. ultimately, i thought that while the bones of the worldbuilding and romance were good, they fell flat, and I was losing interest by the end. raina was a little too "not-like-other-girls" for my taste, and alexus was kind of bland to be honest. i liked a lot of the concepts this book had but they weren't built upon enough to truly capture my interest. i generally enjoy multiple povs, but i think this book wouldve benefitted from focusing on a single one. there was also an incredible amount of exposition that was told, and not shown, which I found boring and didn't have the impact it should have had for me. still not a bad read, and while I'm not interested in continuing the series, I might give the book with the sister a shot.
