Review: Another fun read by this author! I really liked this series overall, but this one was my favorite. I thought that the author did well to include the pandemic and recent occurrences in this read and I loved the messages about water pollution and how to protect yourself from the virus. I thought the character development was good and the world building was well done.
The only issue I really had with the book is that the pacing was a bit slow in some parts, but overall it was well done.
Verdict: I liked it!
