This is a debut to end all debuts. It's a New Adult dream - a little bit of mystery, a little bit of romance, and a WHOOOOLE lot of fantasy. I loved the worldbuilding, the tech, the ACTION SCENES. But we also get to experience the world through Ikenna's lens, especially in how she deals with the grief of her grandfather's passing and the constant racism and misogyny she experiences. The characters around her feel fleshed out, my personal favorite being Reed. I'd recommend this to fans of The Testing and Crescent City, or anyone who wants a dynamic SFF novel that isn't a tome.
