I really wanted to give this at least 4 stars. I love the writing, and the concept is great. I could have had more character development, and at times, some important turns felt rushed. Some events seemed to happen just as plot devices as well. Even then, some of those things that felt like plot devices were done well enough and given just enough context that I felt them in the moment. It is only after the fact that I wish there were just a bit more depth and build-up.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually put it in my DNF pile, but I missed the story and the writing, so I picked it back up, and I'm glad I did. Would I recommend reading this? 100%. Would I read it again? I would, and I suspect there are things I missed that may justify bumping it up to a full 4 stars.
