I picked this up on a whim and enjoyed it overall as an audiobook. I don't know if I would have enjoyed this as a physical book though as there was a number of moments that felt like they fell flat, they just didn't hold my interest. However, as an audio book I was able to enjoy it. This book had great potential and I will end up finishing the series as audio books.

The characters were fairly well rounded, they were very diverse (which is rare), but their diversity wasn't used as simply fluff within the story. The diversity is a shining light amongst ya lit in this day and age.
