Nico is my new favorite book boyfriend.... The love... The tension!! How obsessed he is with her... He is reminding me of Will Herondale (and that might just be because this feels like a period piece).

I loved the story, I loved the characters.

My only critique is the secondary characters don't get much "air time", and we don't really get to know them. So if/when something happens to them, it's not as impactful. I would've loved more time with the rest of the crew, but it might be remedied as the series goes on.
