The different character POVs drove the story along in an interesting way, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
I do wish there was more world building, but as the ending suggests, we’ll see more of that in the next book.
I appreciate the mix of platonic and love relationships. It gave the story more life and made the characters more real. It didn’t feel explicitly romance driven.
