I expected a certain level of teen drama, but didn't realize there were lethal stakes and existential crises looming, which, don't get me wrong, just meant I ended up reading it faster because I had to know how things would end. 😅 1/?
Love the diversity in character design, people of colour, disabled people, those of different gender and sexual identities, each with their own concerns and interests, shown as having an inner life and also involved in the developing friendships and relationships.
The sci fi - tech, world-building - was the perfect level of propelling the plot and providing good background 1mo
-a bunch of young adults figuring out how to adjust to changing circumstances
-heavy hints about the risks in unregulated scientific advancement, hunger for power, and corporate monopoly/sponsorship
-navigating new relationships, boundaries, the decision to trust
-being brave when it matters, but not having to go it alone
