So I was going into this assuming it was gonna be a DNF. It just screams "mediocre and like every other book you've read" but I was very pleasantly surprised. Could I have done without the love triangle with brothers? Sure. Did I kinda hate most of the cast? Yeah. But I somehow enjoyed this! Really impressed with this being a debut. I liked the world, it has some structure but left me with a lot of questions. Super interested in the sequel.
