Nimona

This story is NOT as lighthearted as it comes off.

That being said, I still really enjoyed it. Nimona was a fantastic character to read about and her mentor/mentee & father/daughter relationship with Ballistar was incredibly cute. Fighting a corrupt institution is always a good plotline to read about too, and this one was no exception.

That said, it got pretty dark near the end of the book, in a way that you can both see coming but also kinda blindsides you. The tone of the first half of the book is mostly criminal yet goodhearted shenanigans and it does a COMPLETE turn for the second half. Not gonna lie, it had me on the edge of my seat at the end. I am glad that it had a more hopeful ending because the story could've gone in a lot of different directions but I'm happy with where it ended up!
