I like the second half of this better than the first. It’s less predictable. However, some scenes do feel repetitive.

Also, wow, this book seriously needed more edits. The dialogue at points is just...no. I do appreciate that he (an adult) made his teens sound like actual teens, but still, his sentence structures are cringe-inducing at points. His characters and the setting remain the best parts of the novel.

This would be a really good book for a readathon.

Well, I’ve gotten a third of the way through. It’s becoming more and more apparent to me that this book could’ve used some more edits. It’s hard to get past some of the cringey lines of dialogue and the poor sentence structures sometimes.

I do really like these characters and the setting a lot though. Additionally, it’s really fast-paced, full of action, which is nice.

I can see this being 3-3.5 stars.

I’ve been flipping through this pretty fast. Idk wether it’s cuz I just got out of my reading slump or I like the plot, but I think it’s a bit of both. The setting and these characters are really intriguing.
