The plot and romance of this book had so much potential.
Unfortunately the world building and writing ended up feeling rushed and sloppy. Details were overlooked and it seemed like many character choices were made to further the plot, than it making sense for the context.
The writing read like a movie script and lacked the character inner thoughts and world detail to draw me in.
This felt like a third draft and I wish Nation had more time to polish and tighten. Overall, I found myself constantly questioning the characters’s motivations and catalysts. It all felt very forced.
