I went in expecting more urban fantasy and less dystopian/sci-fi. While I love sci-fi, this book was a mixture of both in a way that I did find myself wishing for more worldbuilding for both elements.
I did like Opal as a main character, but sometimes she felt more like a YA heroine than a mid-late 20-year-old. The voice and prose sometimes felt young. That said, I did like the mix of action and mystery. I liked that the author was trying to add a lot to the story and world. I just sometimes wished for it to be explained more. Like there were at least 2 times that it felt like we were going to get a conclusion, but it is left open-ended for more books in the series. I think I was also disappointed that the ebook ended at 84% for a sneak peek of book two. I thought there was going to be more wrap up, and there wasn't.
