I loved it. All of the characters are really interesting, and you want to love the main four guys.

Each character's voice was unique. The story was nothing that I've ever read and it was dark as anything. I was not prepared for so much death. I'm going with a 4 only because the writing style was so hard. I found skipping to the second person for stuff in the second act (don't wanna spoil) to be really rough and kind of jarring.
I do really like how important Denorah, the fourteen-year-old daughter of one of the originally introduced characters became. I liked following the plot through characters so that it felt character driven but still moved by the plot.
I'll definitely be reading this author again.

- wanted to enjoy it more than I actually did
- characters were often pretty unlikeable… not necessarily a bad thing, but I didn’t get much opportunity to empathize with them besides their background
- interesting concept
- loved the idea for the lore, but some of it was inconsistent and straight up odd (that basketball scene???)
