This book is full of interesting ideas. The worldbuilding is fun, and the book gives you just enough information on all of it.
However, this book really needed a few more editing passes. In both pacing, dialogue, and continuity issues, I found the hiccups too big to really enjoy the story. The characters interacting felt stilted, like they were being fed lines instead of speaking from the heart.
Even our main character Maia, often felt like to me that she was becoming a caricature of herself. I have loved brash and rough around the edges protagonists before, but this one didn't work for me. Oftentimes, her outbursts felt so over the top, without any explanation given for them. So, instead of feeling like a personality trait, it felt like a quirky personality glitch.

Thanks to Kim Mullican and Netgalley for giving me a copy of this book for review. All opinions are my own.
