I was enjoying myself up to about 25% of the book and then I was wondering if maybe I wasn't vibing with the characters. A little over 50% I knew that this was just poorly executed. Felt like the author had an idea of what they wanted the end to be and then just worked backwards because so much of it was like "oh really? ... okay then I guess?" Too many liberties were taken even for a vaguely sci-fi, futuristic future and also honestly kinda of tone deaf writing throughout. 2 stars purely because it had be hooked enough to read it through in one day.
