The world building is interesting, unique, and compelling enough to be worth reading more about on its own. While I'm not totally endeared to the main characters yet, I did like several of the side characters quite a lot. Hopefully, the sequel will show some real growth for the main characters and make them more likable. At this point, I'm cautiously optimistic about the future and the next books!

I went in with no real idea of what this would be like, and ended up adoring it. The characters are fun, and the voice Brown gives them had me occasionally putting the book down to laugh. And with that came very human representations of grief, of anxiety/panic disorders (as a sufferer), of migraines. Definitely picking up the sequel!
