Everything about this story, from the title, cover and blurb to the prologue and the story content feels perfect to me. The premise of the story catches the reader's attention and the writing style delivers the plot superbly. There's also a good deal of world-building, and none of it feels rushed or unrealistic, which makes it a lot more fun to get immersed in.

This story is quite interesting to read especially due to the amount of effort that has gone into building the world the story is in. The pacing is great, and the characters feel real enough to relate to as a reader.

I feel like this is a story that would have been placed higher if it had been entered into action as a genre. However, it excels in the adventure side quite well too, and was one of the more enjoyable stories I've read in a while, especially in regards to Aria and Sterling as characters. There's good chemistry between the two and they bring out both the best and worst in each other in ways that make the story a great read.
