I had a good time with this. The characters were likeable and engaging and I enjoyed the world and overall plot. I especially enjoyed our FMC and how she interacts with others in the world. I'm looking forward to seeing how different relationships grow as the series continues.
The reason that it's not rated higher is because the switch between characters was somewhat abrupt and jarring, particuarly during the first half of the book.
It would take me a minute to figure out who I was following and it sometimes felt like I was just thrown into a scene with no context. I found this somewhat distracting so I wasn't as immersed in the story as I would like.
I fully plan to continue with this sci-fi/romance series because I think it has alot of potential. The world is interesting, the characters are likeable and it moves at a decent pace. I would just like if the narrative had a smoother flow. As this did improve in the second half of the book, I have high hopes that this will stop being an issue as the series continues.
