3.75

Right so this was my second read of this book and I have thoughts. First off I have to say that I changed my rating from 4.5 ⭐️ to 3.75 ⭐️. One of my biggest issues was the pacing of the book. Or rather how the plot moved forward. Like many chapters felt very "Tell not show" in regards to backstories and stuff. The characters were interesting (kind of) but they didn't feel as cool and smart as I was told by the book itself. Overall I did like the book as it had some cool moments but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was great. Hoping the following books are better though!
