This wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it.
If you're considering reading this, ***Don't read the blurb!!!!*** The blurb only describes the second part of the book, which doesn't start until more than halfway through.
I think this is one I could read again and notice a lot of new things throughout. The author doesn't spend lots of time explaining the world/systems, instead she lets the reader figure out how things work through context, which is a style I rather enjoy. (I'm not so interested in technical details while I'm reading. As long as there aren't any contradictions, I'm fine.)
One thing that disappointed me a bit was

that we never see Niki go back to his world or even find out what happened to some of his friends. Perhaps this is because they still aren't safe? I did like the ending, although I wished we had more exposition from the time he and Jhari met. This is just my love of characters speaking though :) I don't think this part was actually /necessary/, I just wanted it.CW:
