I received this book from NetGalley for review.
I wanted to like this book more than I did. The premise was promising, but I didn't care about the characters. A lot happened very early on, to the point that it felt like info-dumping. Paragraphs of explaining how things are made me bored and disconnected. I grew bored with the events of the book to the point that the narrative voices of the three POVs sounded the same to me. This book also feels a little more like a middle book in a larger world than a standalone story. I feel like I'm missing information, even with all the info-dumping.
It boils down to this not being a book for me over much else.
