What a wild ride! I was worried when I started this book because there was a lot of worldbuilding, history, and telling at the beginning and I didn't feel super connected to Isla. But I'm glad I stuck with it for the juicy plot and plot twists! Looking forward to watching this in movie form-- I think it'll carry over so well!

The world Aster paints is lush and beautiful. I struggled with the timeline, the age of the characters, and the romances (I think is was multiple - I was getting creeped out-see the spoiler below) that develop.

If the Centennial happens every 100 years and some of the players have been around since the Centennial's inception, and Isla seems to be one of the youngest players, how creepy is that two of the original players take a romantic liking to her. In a post #MeToo world, someone would be keeping a closer eye on this kind of thing in YA.

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
