I kind of enjoyed this one, even though there were aspects of it that I didn't quite get into as much as other aspects.

The dystopian setting seems to be a little out of left field, but it works for what the author is trying to do when it comes to the star-crossed lovers trope. The setting is about all that's truly interesting about the dystopian setting here. Where the novel really works, for once in this genre, is in the romance between Sol and D'arcy. It's a great slow build, and when we focus on the pair, it works greatly. Sol doesn't let her mission go astray when the romance builds, either. Instead, she keeps forging forward, even though her mission (which the entire plot is based around) started with a terrible decision and keeps moving forward thanks to Sol sort of falling into the plots others have set up.

It feels weird, being pleased with the romance in a YA dystopian novel. So, so weird.
