I'm shocked with the beauty of this story. The cover is eye-catching, that's for sure, but the story is even more lovely. The characters are wonderfully flawed and realistic. The setting feels real and pure and wholesome which makes sense why Disney is the publisher then. I was originally drawn to the history aspect of the characters' exploration, but I ended up loving everything else in the book too. You start off interested in the mystery like the teens are, but then the reader ends up falling in love with the characters instead. The plot becomes second-hand because the characters are so memorable. The Liv love story was such an important and amazing plot line. Although I felt bad for Orion, I was happy for Liv. I'm low key hoping for a sequel with more adventures!
