3.0

Not gonna lie, I was excited about this book because of the hype on Insta. I was sad when the story fell flat after the first couple chapters, pretty surface level content. It was like the book could have been half the length with the lack of substance, or could have been longer with a more flushed out and detailed political climate, character development, etc. It could have also gone through another pass of editing as there were quite a few grammar and spelling mistakes.

Overall the story and writing itself was decent, especially for a debut novel. I liked the spiciness fine enough. I plan to read other books by this writer with the hope she finds her groove.
