Don't want to give a star rating as I think this may be a time when a book just wasn't for me! I admire the author and her absolute determination to see her book published, especially with all the issues she's had. I think it's really lovely that she's able to put her art out into the world!

I liked Isy and all the banter she had with the Vold crew members (very Shallan/bridge 4 vibes) and I really like the initial world building! The setting was super vivid.

My issues just came in with the clarity of the prose for especially the last half of the book. Just felt like we jumped around a lot and it was a bit confusing. There were lots of plot points mentioned once and then never resolved or picked up again which made the story feel a bit lost and characters ended up repeating themselves fairly often.

If you like YA romantasy (which tbf is not a genre I particularly read) then I would definitely give this a go. Supporting a self published, indie author is never a bad thing to do!
