Of all the characters I only liked Vintage, and she didn’t get enough proper focus in my opinion as I felt Tor was annoying to read and Noon was just dull. The pacing felt too slow and too fast at the wrong times and as a result impactful scenes didn’t hit the way they should have. Toward the end it just felt like the author was leaning too hard into getting Noon and Tor together and I honestly skimmed those parts because. I could see that pairing coming a mile away and it just made me lost interest entirely when it happened. Don’t think I will be continuing the series as a result but I do admit I found the world fascinating and the Jure’lia and Winnowry were topics I definitely wanted to know more about.
