When I started reading this book, I was immediately super excited about the representation and diversity going on, but sadly that didn't last long. I don't really have anything new to say, there are many reviews out there already addressing the one-dimensional characters, the confusing and at times very info-dumpy world-building and just overall issues of keeping interest. I mean most the reviews I read were DNFs and I was super close to not finishing it myself. The beginning was good and then I struggled from page 60 to like page 200. Then I decided to basically skim the rest and I feel like I still got as much of the story as I did when I actually tried to read everything. It really is a lot. There is so much happening and of course that can't all be perfectly executed. Still, this books has amazing representation and overall I think for a younger, maybe middle grade, audience, this would be a fantastic and fun read.
