This was overall a fun and fast paced read. I don't have a ton to say in terms of why I'm rating it at a 3 star because I think a large part of that is just that I didn't really love these characters a ton and didn't feel super connected to them. However, I think that is also largely due to the fact that this book is geared toward a younger audience and I am not that audience. I do think Brandon Sanderson does a great job with world building and character building and this was definitely a book that could be flown through because the pacing was super good. I would definitely recommend this, but only to the YA audience it's written for.

I couldn’t put it down it was so gripping. Perfect amount of sci-fi. Tons of world building as expected from Sanderson but never too much.
