Good character development. The ending was a cliffhanger but I still felt like the main premise of this portion of the plot was resolved. The book felt complete.

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.
