I wanted to like this but I felt like I got plopped into a world I should have been familiar with and wasn’t. It made me feel like I needed to catch up and I couldn’t. The premise is great, but I needed more world-building and background to connect with the story. There were so many names and things within the first chapter that I struggled to understand what was happening. I want to connect to the world, tell me more about it! Writing style came across clinical and unemotional, characters felt flat and boring. 

Many thanks to Book Sirens for the opportunity. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
