Hey hey! 😎

✨QOTD: Do you listen to audiobooks?

I can only listen to audiobooks of books I've already read! Otherwise, I get so distracted and tune out the audio, 🤦🏻‍♀️ and miss important scenes or dialogue which leads to confusion and frustration 😡 and…you get the point

My favorite audiobooks are still the Harry Potter ones!

I have to start with the worldbuilding because it is just so good! If everything else in this book stunk (which it didn’t), I’d still recommend this book just because the imagery and uniqueness of the settings are so wonderful. Terrill has created this world with multiple planets, unique foods, animals, and even vocabulary. I was so impressed by how different and intriguing it all was. Even still, it was easy to grasp and understand as the story progressed. I didn’t find myself getting negatively lost in the new world and its vocabulary.

There was a common theme of being and feeling used. Many of the characters were either being used, feeling used, or were using. I thought this was interesting, especially considering so much of this book talked about money and the lows and highs that come with it.

Now onto the characters. Vika, one of our main characters, is interesting because she’s almost a morally gray character. She’s not quite all good, but definitely not quite bad. She’s a little selfish and rude, but also mindful and strong. There are a lot of facets to her that are so intriguing. Just when you think you have her figured out, she does something to surprise you. She kept me on my toes throughout the book even if the plot didn’t.

Sky, our other main character, was just the sweetest creature alive. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think of him, especially with all of Vika’s negative thoughts about him floating around, but I ended up loving him so much. He’s thoughtful, a bit reserved, and cares so much for those around him. He deserves all the planets in this world!

I have so many more thoughts on this book so be sure to check out my blog post for the nitty gritty!

I loved being introduced to the F1 world and sport from this book. It had an adventurous plot, a protective brother, and one soft boy with a protective shell.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To start this off, I have to say that the writing was not amazing (not bad just not great). However, I was interested in the plot so I stuck around. It was a lot of fun to travel the world and learn more about the F1 world. I knew pretty much nothing going in so I liked learning more about the sport in this way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish there had been more friendship moments between Maya and her best friend, Sophie. They just kinda become automatic friends and I wish I could have seen more development in their relationship. Maybe some serious moments mixed in with the fun and games.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Noah was a sweetheart, but his personality did feel like it boomeranged a little too much. I think that's because Asher was trying to show Noah as a guy with a rebellious front that she put on in public and a soft side in actuality. It just wasn't written that smoothly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Noah and Maya together were nice. I didn't truly get invested in their relationship until closer to the end of the book when they started to have sweet moments together rather than passionate moments. A scene in Noah's last race particularly had me rooting for them as a couple. I'm so glad the epilogue and extended epilogue gave me another peek into the softer side of their relationship.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Overall, I still enjoyed this book and am excited to read about the other guys in this F1 world. Liam and Sophie are next and I'm so excited!
