I found this very fun and probably would have given it five stars except it did not land the ending. The end felt like a billion people got shot and it just basically went out on a hundred cliffhangers which felt like a cop out to a story that had been progressing decently before then! It took me a bit to get into it - I didn't love the writing the whole time - and I did find that sometimes it made me roll my eyes, but once it got into the action I was excited to keep reading along! I'd probably read the next one.
