Overall, I enjoyed this book because of its creativity and nice writing style. The POV character provides a really interesting view on the world as, especially in the beginning, she's not that involved or interested in things so we just get glimpses. I have some issues with continuity and a few things that don't entirely make sense or where the solution to a really big problem kind of just appears out of nowhere. But in general, an interesting read!
