I found this book a bit of a drag. I read it via audio book and the production was amazing. The cast / voice actors did an amazing job.
The plot however I feel was a bit lacking. It only picked up right at the end of the book. The only reason I read the second book was to find out how they were going to stop the main villian. But generally first books are there to introduce characters and the readers to the world / universe created. That being said throughout the book it really had me wishing I had a squad like the main characters had.
I give it 3.25 stars mainly because I feel like the authors were holding back abit plot and character development wise.
