Almost a new favorite.

Also, why aren't more people talking about this book? I heard so much about it up to its release and then nothing. It's amazing. Don't sleep on this. 😍

I loved basically everything about this book; the world, the galaxy map, the characters, the intrigue, the various subplots, the interwoven discussion of racism and classism, the aliens. It was all great. I can't find the words to explain it in more detail.

There were things I never saw coming. The real killer. Identities of certain people. Horrible motives. If I didn't have to go to school, I think I very easily could've read this in a day.

The only thing I didn't love was Aly. He was a good character and I did like him, but throughout most of the second half I found his chapters a little bit boring. I liked his story but I wanted to get back to Rhee.

I can't wait to read the sequel! 🌙🙌🏻
