This book at time does feel like a book between 2 other books but the characters are good and it is a fun story over all. It is slow and a tad boring at moments tho

This is a book with a female lead who is so smart and we are told just how smart she is all the time who does make a lot of pretty fun decisions which I find kinda annoying. The past and present timeliness are done pretty well tho. The past plot is much better than the present tho.
