I'm not going to write a full review because it's been too long, so...

I did really enjoy this, buuuuut, there was something missing. The writing style wasn't intriguing enough and honestly, the plot wasn't all that interesting. I was mostly there for the characters and the world-building (which was really good to be honest). Also, I was there for the romance, which was REALLY well-developed. It's one of the main reasons I'm looking forward to reading The Edge of the Abyss because YA rarely has well-developed female-female relationships. Hate-to-love is one of my favorite tropes and TASU did it so well.

Also, I think this could totally be a villain-origin story, not going to lie. It read a lot like anti-heroism, which I especially liked.

This book is really, really under hyped and I definitely recommend it, even if not everything about it worked out for me. Also, seriously, that diversity is epic and treated like no big deal. WHY CAN'T ALL YA BE LIKE THIS???
