Content warning: rape.
The story drew me in from the first couple of pages, I liked Ari and the initial backstory was absorbing.
I liked the world-building, loved the characters - Violet is adorable - though a couple of them were less distinct e.g. Dub? I can't really remember anything other than their name. The mythology was an interesting blend that worked really well and is something I hadn't seen before.
There were a couple of things that caused a star to fall: firstly the instalove, you met this guy a matter of hours ago and you're already snuggling?! Secondly the rape, witnessed rather than experienced but maybe more descriptive than necessary. Also some passages seemed unnecessary at the moment. Ari's past in foster care and a sudden mention of her father at the very end of the book.
4/5 stars.
