This book was way darker than i expected. The pacing is a little slow at first but after a certain point, you hit the ground running. It gets super fast paced, one thing after another thrown at you with no time to breathe. This usually isnt inherently a bad thing for most books. but for the amount of things that happen in this book, it wouldve been nice to get more time to breathe in my opinion. I wouldve loved for us to delve into certain characters motivations like Wren but i guess the author is saving that for the next book. We cant forget about the fact that this is a YA novel so of course the author will put in an insufferable love triangle! But other than that is book is pretty ok. All the characters were cool and their banter was fun to read even if it was a little cringy at times. The author made me care about everyone even the smaller side characters like Mable, Kina and Blue which i must commend him on. The plot was also very interesting and the ben oliver is good at creating tense sequences.
Overall i give it a 3.5/5 i will read the next book just to see how things will play out. Id reccomend if you want a YA sci-fi that is a quick read.
