I really enjoyed this book! I thought the story was compelling and the author did a good job of creating a rich world for me to read about. I did find that sometimes the POV switching was a little much, but overall I look forward to reading the rest of the series. 

Nick DROVE ME CRAZY though at times. A very sweet but very dumb man. You aren't going to tell Rachel anything about your life? Whatever but you are going to let her walk into the equivalent of a ball and not prepare her? Anway.

This was a long adventure throughout the world of these extremely rich people. So much happening all the time, it was a lot to keep track of! I would really like to check the movie adaptation next and possibly continue the series.

😍 The good:
I felt that the narration was authentic and I enjoyed the diverse perspectives. The story seemed realistic and it kept having cliffhangers, which really made me curious about what is next. I really felt immersed while learning more about the culture. It was fun, while also having some thoughtful scenes. The audio version was really fast-paced, almost like a movie, and I liked the narrator.

😅 The not-so-good: 
There were a bit too many characters to keep track of, even though I can understand their purpose. It also was a bit overwhelming in terms of jumping from one character to another... I kept forgetting what was happening to each of them.
