This is an awesome start to a series. I had such a great time. I liked how it was structured with the characters, mystery, and the action scenes mixed in. I will say, Miller did one thing that I feel is a bit odd, but don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll leave it at that.

I found the first hundred or so pages really propulsive and exciting, which is what got me hooked but the rest of the book dragged in many places to the point that I believe it could have been shortened by at least 150 pages. There was just so much overwriting that I didn't care about. Neither Miller not Holden were ever that interesting, certainly not enough for me to read pages and pages of their inner thoughts and dialogues. And the end chapter where Miller wanders through Eros felt like it took forever. There was no build up or tension at all, I was just skimming waiting for Corey to get to the point.
I've been meaning to read this for years and I'm glad I finally did and I'll definitely be checking out the second book just to see if the series is worth continuing but I did not fall in love with this by any means.

I have some issues with this book (how the two male MC’s are written, how the women are written, how the women are written in comparison to the men…) but it was also really entertaining and kept me interested?
