I really liked this book. I don’t read as much y/a as I do other genres so it was a nice mix. A huge part of why I rated this book 4 stars was the fact that I’ve seen it on booktok. It has been so hyped up and so talked about, I went into this expecting perfection when it isn’t. It’s a great book, really but it’s not perfect like all books aren’t. But because I was expecting it and wasn’t met with it I was kind of underwhelmed. I realized that people meant this whole series is amazing and seemingly perfect rather than the first book, but I wish I went into it blind. That being said it was still a great book. I am planning on reading the rest of the books and hope to see some character growth from the protagonist and hopefully Warner as well. It was very fast paced and a lot happened in a small amount of time which I like about series. Definitely a fast read, and very easy too.
