This is all vibes for me and my rating skyrocketed at the end. That ending was so good!!
The world the author created for this story is so cool. I loved everything about it. The world building was easy to follow and it all made sense.
Now the characters are a different story. I kind of disliked everyone? Wasn't a fan of FMC Diem. She was just dumb and made rash decisions. Henri is a no from me. I really wanted Diem to sock him in the face. Diem's dad was also not a vibe. But I loved Diem's brother Teller. Luther is also at the top of my list for best characters.
Was this story perfect? No. But was it fun to read? Yes! Highly recommend!
