I had hoped to finish this book before it's publish date but it was so very hard to read.
It took me so long to get into it and to adjust to the terms and pattern it was written in. It was a lot of slang and weird words that throws you off.
I constantly had to go back, reread and try and understand.
The beginning of the book just jumps into all of this information but it doesn't truly get explained until the middle. It reads like you should know this information but it's a new world/new book so how could you. The maps aren't much help at the beginning either and you don't really get the history in a full picture way.
There is so much going on but it's also like you're not seeing anything. Like you hear what's going on behind you but can't turn around to actually see.
I liked Jiji but I think my actual favourite was Afara. She's the most kind and loyal friend imaginable. And despite the awful way she is treated she remains that way. I just want to keep her safe...
The concept is super interesting. Which is why I forced myself to continue. I wanted to know but it was incredibly painful to get there.
I boosted the rating because it got so interesting once they left the planting. Meeting the Friends and actually figuring out what was going on all along was a relief. It actually got really good and I read the end half a lot faster than the first.
I feel like book two will be way better than the first...
