I.... did not love this as much as I wanted to. The concept is cool but the characterization of one of the antagonists felt inconsistent, in a way that left me really confused and taken out of the moment. Other than that, the rest of the book was okay — I really liked the world building; the dynamics between characters and their powers was intriguing. Unfortunately, I didn't really actually like any of the characters enough to care about what happened to them, which meant there were very little stakes for me. I'm not sure if I'll finish the series.
