This is by no means a bad book. The author clearly knows what she's doing, and there were moments where I really felt invested in the storyline and what was going on. Unfortunately, this just really isn't my type of book, and it wasn't overly spectacular enough for me to fall in love with it despite it being science fiction (my least favorite genre).
One thing that I really struggled with was how most of the characters spoke. I understand that this was a purposeful thing done by the author, but it didn't work for me. I found myself focusing a lot on those sentences and passages, trying to translate them in my head. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I go into YA books hoping to not have to think too heavily on them (unless they deal specifically with heavy topics). I think it was supposed to make me more immersed in the world, but it instead just took me out of it
