World building, A+. Mechanics and fight scenes had me unable to stop reading those sections. Relationships were a bit too contrived for my liking, but I know some people like half a book of start-crossed angst. Worth the read, though I’m not sure I would rate it as highly as others have. Solid writing, decent characters, and straightforward plot (with some over complicated side plots). I would say the end left me feeling unsettled. There were too many convenient surprises at the end all piling up on top of each other. I won’t give too many details, but by the time I got the end I was literally asking what curveball was going to happen next that would make me roll my eyes. Most of the book was much more believable than the end.
