80% of this book is a slice of life fantasy about 7 moody half-fae teenage ecoterrorist secret agents. None of those those things I really mind by themselves. (I mean, I’m really over the “teenage secret agent/assassin” thing. I’m personally just glad I didn’t have to sit through any secret missions.) But altogether, it makes for a more ambitious book than I really delivers on. The “twists” began to feel cliche and expected. I don’t buy that the main characters are a team or work together with any efficiency. And the book has a bad habit of handing you “revelations” that are supposed to provide answers, but just end up creating questions. Questions that might be answered in the second book but I’m not nearly invested enough in this world to find out.
