I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It is a good easy read. I only give this book 2.5 stars because there are massive errors. I don't if this author self-publishes or if she has an editor, but there are whole paragraphs that repeat and some very obvious grammatical errors. But other than that it is a great story and I enjoyed the read.

This book was okay. The world itself is super cool and fascinating,  but the female lead just wasn't my flavor. The author does a lot of man-hating which also isn't for me as well as the polyamory.

This book was just 'meh' for me. I felt like I was reading a Wattpad book that was better written, I enjoyed that kind of nostalgic feeling. I liked that I didn't have to think. I was good at getting over my reader's block.

I love this book! The character growth is fantastic! Sabaa Tahir keeps the reader completely enthralled. There is no fluff and filler. It is all about the story. I love her world building! 

Flying Angels by Danielle Steel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.

The writing was completely shoddy. It felt like the author was repeating the three same ideas. There was no conflict between characters. All the women were perfectly jolly and never fought, because they all enlisted. None of them were dating. It was just too perfect. All the writing was fluff! There was no substance.
