The Blighted Stars

This book started so good! The premise is fantastic and I liked the opening chapters and the two lead characters. The story builds tension in an excellent way and the themes of technology gone awry and human consumption were worked into it seemlessly.

The book did start to drag for me in the second half, and I found the romance to be...just not very good or believable. Some of the lines were cringy, but also I just didn't buy that these two people would fall for each other. And it took up a LARGE portion of the book.

I will read the sequel!
