I'm not gonna lie: 500 pages in fine print got me questioning the whole book.

But it turns out it was actually really good so I did get through it eventually.

I liked that this had a lot of world building and it was character driven and so so much plot that I can't wait to read the second one. Actually, let me go look this up from my library right now.... OH! Oh no. I have to wait till MAY until it's even PUBLISHED!? Well.. I guess I'm just lucky to be here so early...

I really liked the characters, even though the one with most POV's was my least favorite. I also hate that there were things very clearly hinted at but not really explained. Drives me crazy but I'll allow it because it was just one thing and I really liked this.

And there was so much queer representation! This was the first book I've ever read that used neopronouns and I gotta say at first I was confused and thought it was a typo. But more of this, please! I also think this might be more of new adult than young adult because the characters didn't really have that internal battle of "am I straight? Gay? What am I? I can't like a girl". They just were. You know? Like they already had the realization they were queer and had accepted and it's actually so nice.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to the next one.
