This was great. Wonderful worldbuilding and interesting characters. I hope there's a sequel soon.

Actually really good

I was skeptical jumping into the book, and I'm extremely happy to say that my caution and concern were completely unfounded. This is an excellent piece of literature, with an excellent and enticing story. The world building is well done and every answer leaves you with more questions. The main character is a tad vanilla, but overall is relatable and enjoyable to read about. Kai, Tom, Tim, Gwen, and Silvie all are excellent characters as well. Currently Kai and Gwen have more personality than the others, but I feel like the overall prose and flow of the book was well done.

It's rare for me to rate a book with 5 stars, and for good reason. There's always room for improvement. However I believe this is as close as it gets to perfection.
