So far this series is really good! I think this first book is a lot of world building and character introductions. The middle of the book seems like the beginning. I am very glad there are more books to expand on Juliette and Warner. I so far don't trust Adam and love Kenji and Juliette. I think the world building works very well it just means the into is super slow.

Some poetic writing. The description was beautiful. I was literally here for the vibes and I really enjoyed it but logically? It was just okay. 

Maybe i’ll come back and update this when I finally stew on it.
