2.5

While the story had potential and a promising premise, it felt underdeveloped. The characters lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them or care about their journeys. There was also a noticeable lack of suspense and elaboration throughout the plot, which could have added much-needed intrigue and emotional engagement.
With more attention to character development and a stronger focus on building tension, this book could have been much more compelling. As it stands, it feels more like a missed opportunity than a fully realized story.
