I so, so wanted to love this one. On paper, it sounds absolutely fantastic - but for me it just fell short on delivering what it promised. 

This takes low stakes a little too far. Worse than no stakes, it builds up a few issues that you think will provide the little bit of tension the book needs to push it forward.... and then just does nothing with it. They just talk it out or decide they don't care or just don't talk about it anymore. But not in a way that feels like closure.

For me, too little happened. There was no tension, the writing was very two-dimensional. I didn't care about any of the characters or what happened to them, you never seem to get close enough to them to care.

I really enjoyed the vibes and the premise of this one and am intruiged to see where the rest of the series goes. I'd like a little more depth and maybe just a smidgen of actual tension/drama/stakes.
