I really really enjoyed this book! There were parallels to FBAA so if you’ve read that recently then take a break before diving into this one. I will say I enjoyed this book way more than FBAA. Prisca’s choices and logic track better and her personality is leagues better than Poppy. The plot was predictable but I was still tense awaiting all the twists and turns. I can’t wait to dive into book 2.
