This was so softttt

Meh

I had higher expectations after the hype and the way Red Queen managed to trap everyone.
I did love the older characters. They were all so fun and charming in their own ways. The teen characters were fine. I liked them individually but there's clearly going to be a romance there and I just didnt care.
The beginning hinted at a really epic plot and then nothing happened in the rest of the book so

I was really enjoying the beginning. It dragged a bit in the middle which I didn't love but the end is definitely interesting enough to read the next one
