Lots of potential, sadly falls short
It starts out very compelling, but the book is too long for the actual storyline: the middle dragged with nothing much happening. Vee and Nathan were strong characters, although the romance was rushed and over the top, and there were moments where their actions felt dissonant to their established personalities. Every other character was forgettable. The world building had my intrigued, although it never went into enough depth to satisfy. The twists were predictable, and the ending was completely dissatisfying.
The shifting of perspective between Vee and Nathan worked well at the start, however as the story focused on Vee for the latter third, Nathan's perspective became neglected and the strategy as a whole fell apart.
Combined with often unemotive and flat voice acting, the book ultimately left me feeling frustrated.
