Very fun read. Interesting and varied cast of teen characters, and they're each given a good amount of pages to develop their backstories and make you care about them. With multiple character perspectives the author ensures you won't know everything going on all at once, and it leads to well executed reveals both for the characters as well as the reader. The motivations of the main cast are all completely understandable but at times come to be at odds with the others and this tension really fleshes out the plot and character interactions.

This was amazing! Lots of fun and action, the characters and chemistry were amazing throughout! I just wish we could have seen a little bit more of Wylan because his relationship with his dad is so interesting.

The characters were the best part of the story. I really liked how each one felt different and had specific motivations, flaws, and strengths. I loved the banter and teasing between them. I also really appreciated the competence and cleverness of the characters. There were parts of the story that were pretty dark. The reason I didn’t rate it higher is that not everything felt clear to me. It was hard for me to picture some of the places or action because the writing was kinda hard to follow.
