I felt this story had some great ideas but overall had poor execution and if given a few more good edits and rework of plot points, could’ve been a successful series to grab attention. You’re introduced to about 13 characters within the first 5 chapters and yes, you do want to keep track of them. I also felt like some of the plot could have been refined further to make Fallon a stronger main character instead of a character with the plot happening to them.

It really saddens me as there feels like there’s great ideas for world building, but with a weak plot, unnecessary characters, and unnecessary filler, this book ultimately was a no go for me.

The sex scene is cringe worthy but that’s definitely the point. Same with how naive the FMC is, but overall good story if not a little predictable.

I found this story a bit slow to get going, but once it did, boy did it go! I stayed up stupid late to finish it, then immediately went to buy the next in the series.
