"Escapism was the pill we all swallowed to survive the uncertain times."

This was my first metaphysical fantasy and I think that it might personally not be my cup of tea.
I liked the beginning of the book and the creation of the dystopian world. I found Maya's existence in the dystopian world to be very relatable, and there was a fair amount of action.
But once she reached the utopian world, the action slowed to what felt almost like a standstill. I struggled to relate to Maya after that, and I didn't really like Björn either.
I think the author achieved the message she was trying to send and I'm sure that this book is great...if you're part of its intended audience.
Thanks to Netgalley for the free e-ARC!
