⭐⭐⭐
The premise of this story caught my attention, unfortunately however, I had a hard time fully getting into this book. The pacing felt choppy and the narrative jumped around in a way that made it difficult to follow what was happing half the time. While there were some interesting moments, the execution didn’t quite come together for me.
