This was a page turner, a well written young adult read! 

Cons for me were poor editing ( many typos and inconsistent jargon ) and I got annoyed with Aaron's character constantly wanting to give up (but that may just be the intent of the character's personality, he lacked in growth in that area for me). The back and forth between Nick and Aaron with the quick ending was a little awkward for me, it didn't feel like it flowed well and like there were gaps.


Otherwise wonderfully immersive settings, quite fun jumping times, and absolutely lovable characters. I would love to read the next book in this series.
