I loved the two main characters so much and I just wanted to keep reading to know they’d be okay. The world building is immersive; I’m always impressed when authors are able to draw the reader into a completely new world without a lot of exposition, just by references and natural scene dressing. We only see a little bit of this universe in the first book so I’m eager to learn more in the next one!

- I adored both our sweet blockhead main characters, who were both trying to do what they thought was best for the other one without, you know, actually asking what might be best.
- The universe Maxwell has built here is so detailed and the central mystery kept me guessing.
