- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Oh shettt. I truly didnt expect to like this book as much as I do.
The beginning was confusing especially for someone who likes to skim over paragraphs that are big and chunky (and a lot of paragraphs were indeed big and chunky).
The jumping povs got me confused at first but over time I got over that barrier and grew to love this book. Its a nice change of pace from the books I usually read and im looking forward to the next few books.

Pretty interesting, the Mass Effect-vibes from couple of scenes were cool, but sadly I felt this was kinda dragging at times, and the dialogue was very juvenile at times. The problem with changing POVs and having many main characters is that there are always a couple you don't care about...

Whew... I just finished with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. I think this is enough of a review!

I read this as my Libby app offered it as an available yet popular book. I had just finished reading "The Testaments," by Margaret Atwood, so this was QUITE a departure. And it felt very frivolous and juvenile in comparison.
But it doesn't take a lot to suck me into a story, and this became a fun adventure with all the intrigue and mystery (and goofiness and teenage angst) a YA sci-fi can offer. I had fun reading it. And I suppose the fact that I looked for the sequel as soon as I was finished is the best recommendation I can offer. :)

Probably a 4.5 star
I really loved this story. I went in with average expectations because I didn't love Gemina and I didn't finish the Illumimae Files. But wow.
I think the multiple perspectives really strengthened the readers connection to the characters.
I'm hoping it won't take too long for the 2nd installment (and that they will follow the same characters!)
It's reminiscent of Firefly and the Expanse. Highly recommend!

In particular the connection between Auri and Kal, I need to know what happens next.I'm hoping it won't take too long for the 2nd installment (and that they will follow the same characters!)

Think Firefly and Battlestar Galactica meets The Expanse. Kal is my favourite.
