Arek & Matt are probably my favorite pair out of my recent reads. Arek is kind hearted and figuring things out while lowkey being a bit of a mess and Matt is the perfect support with his own set of charms. Together though theyre a classic case of poor communication but tons of heart lol

The entire party is so unique and each member of their little team adds fun moments and great depth to the story which kept things interesting and entertaining.

I will say the plot is your usual YA tale, there arent any real twists and turns but the book really doesnt need them to stay interesting. I found this to be a very enjoyable read with writing that painted things so perfectly that I felt like I was in the world myself.

I would love a second installment with more Arek & Matt and I look forward to reading FT Lukens other book 'In Deeper Waters' because the vibe of this was exactly the kind of story I love to unwind with.
