What an unusual read! The format of this book is unique, with each chapter following many different character broken down in 2-20ish page blurbs per person. The chapter breaks sort of felt arbitrary since there were so many mini breaks. With all the jumping around from character to character and with SO MUCH plot happening it read slow for me despite all the action. Not sure if I’ll continue on with the series or not but I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the moon!
