I decided to not finish this book. My reasons are simple:
- I could not stand Kora.
- The writing was too weak.
- Royce had ZERO personality. His sole existence was to praise Kora.
- Triton literally used the “you're not like other girls” line on Kora. Not once, but twice (at least as far as I've gotten. Could be more).
I held on for as long as I had because the concept is exciting! There were some really cool ideas in this book, but I just didn't like the execution. Hettie, Rhat, and Triton remained my favorite characters, but I couldn't stand the treatment of them by the author and Kora.
