It was action packed from start to finish, and the ending was a wild ride. I did feel the descriptive language was a bit all over the place, which made it hard for me to get completely immersed into the world building.
Premise & representation was there… but execution felt off? For some reason this one just wasn’t holding my attention. Really beautiful artwork of the chrysalis’s in the printed book, and for a young adult fantasy it was considerably good, just not my favorite :/
