I did kind of like this one, though for some reason I'm completely confused about most of it. Probably just read it too fast

I knew nothing about this book prior to picking it up and starting reading. Even though many of the tropes of this genre have become monotonous, Johnson avoids that with this book. She creates a compelling narrative that drops the reader into a fully formed world without unnecessary, pedantic world building at the beginning which so many lesser authors resort to. As the book unfolds, the reader learns naturally about various aspects of the world. Johnson does this in a way that requires the reader to suspend disbelief and takes that just far enough, the perfect use of it. I highly recommend this book and some time in the future, I will try to get around to reading the rest of the books in the series.
