Am I the target audience for this book? No, so take this review with a grain of salt. However, I, personally, could not stand Kyr and thus struggled to ever invest myself in this book. Also, it felt like we were only ever *told* of the bad things that were happening until, like, 80% through the book, which is always my favorite trope in writing /sarcastic.
Additionally, a lot of the “diversity characters” felt like they were only ever given one moment to be ~diverse~. i.e. the only Black character gets one paragraph to talk about racism about two thirds through the book.
