Though it is well written and starts off very interesting, I didn't find myself immersed in the story. I had an issue with Rin, as in I didn't like her because she seemed to always be whining (I had the audiobook edition, so maybe it was the way it was read?). I usually like all the themes in this book, but the vibes just weren't there for me. I don't think I'll continue this series.
