4.0

I thought that the book was interesting overall. It toed the line between science fiction and fantasy which I wasn't really expecting but I thought the genre-blending was generally done well. I appreciated how the characters were all so intertwined with one another in so many ways which made the book really fun to read. I also liked how the different perspectives allowed us to see into the minds of characters on all sides of the conflict. Even some of the more "villainous" (though I'm still not sure which side I stand on) characters were relatable and had motives that were honestly really understandable. Sometimes it could be difficult to really tell who was narrating despite the chapter saying so because the characters seemed to all share the same voice. I also thought Liam and Nick were boring characters and didn't really care for their part in the story. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next in the series and learning more about Meegan's history and the exciting revelation at the end about Kenna (though I am still a bit confused about the logistics of that with Darci and whatnot) but overall the book was interesting and kept me engaged from pretty early on in the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
