Still good enough to want to see what happens next but all in all was a little long winded for me.

I will say, this might not be for readers who favor plot heavy novels. It is engaging, but focuses primarily on character development and psychological ponderings, with a majority of the higher stakes occurring during the last 15% of the book.
Nevertheless, I am excited to see how the series progresses:)

I didn’t find the plot twist super surprising but I like the way it was explained. I found Libby to oftentimes be annoying and I wasn’t a huge fan of Tristan’s audiobook narrator. I liked Nico and Parisa’s characterizations. I also liked the rivalry between Nico and Libby.
All in all it was a bit confusing at times but I was able to catch up and get on the same page. Not a bad book

I neither loved or hated anyone in particular, instead, did a good job of everyone having a purpose and being an intricate, ensemble cast. I will read the next one for sure, knowing that some parts might be dry but inevitably not? Somehow? I don't know. I still enjoyed the story AND the writing even though it didn't feel like a page turner. It made my brain happy.
Also, the bits in the short story included, Sacred Hospitality, did in fact make me chortle.
