adventurous slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

Overall, this is probably a better book than I'm giving it credit for. But I struggled to buy in to the central romance due to the lack of chemistry between the characters and poor pacing for the first two sections of the book. The emotional stakes of the book depend on the reader's investment in these two, so in the end I couldn't bring myself to care about what happens next enough. With that being said, I know many people will love this book because of the romantic premise and creative plot, and I'm excited for them.
