This is quite possibly the strangest book I’ve ever read and that’s saying something. I liked some aspects of it, but ultimately it was far too sexual for my liking. I realize now it is an adult romance but going into the story I was not aware. Make sure you know the genre of your reads please. 

It didn’t become interesting until phase 2 and then it didn’t really have a plot until phase 3. The ending was a good one, but Fizel should’ve been dealt with. There were so many symbols that I often lost what was actually supposed to be the focus, which is Leigh-Cheri and Bernard.
