I was hoping for either more action, or better developed characters, but this was an otherwise solid sci-fi that wrapped up nicely at the end. I prefer a slightly less definitive ending but I know a lot of people like a more resolved feeling.

DID NOT FINISH: 29%

The plot felt like it was rushing so I didn't think I'd be able to properly get invested in it. It also felt like a combination of sci-fi, fantasy, and YA, when I expected it to only be a sci-fi book. This just wasn't for me.

So good that I listened to the audiobook twice and am gonna read the second book in the series ASAP.

This started out really good but I began to lose interest about 65% of the way through, as the plot kind of runs in circles and is also somewhat predictable. I prefer A Woman is No Man which I read earlier this year.
