Tooooo long, the beginning was very info dumpy, I just skimmed over some descriptions because I could not retain so much info, the writing was easy to read and entertaining, but the character's work felt a little shallow like the author was telling us rather than showing us..
I did not really like how judgemental Hunt was at first for no reason, and even Bryce at times felt shallow but of course I still enjoyed reading their story, Ruhn was another pov that I really enjoyed and wanted more of.
The last part of the book was much more action heavy, so non stop that I wish we could have had more breathing room, some "revelations" I expected, others not at all, and there were too many moments where the plot felt convenient, it felt cheap at times like the characters did not earn it, some emotional scenes that surprisingly got to me, I can not predict what will happen in the next book.. (I feel very intrigued by the "cat" character tho)
