This is one of those books where I’m pretty sure it’ll be a 5 star on reread, but I can’t quite give it that rating yet at the moment. The big plus of this book is the relationship between Jainan and Kiem and their slow burn romance. All the wonderful romance tropes you know and love in a scifi coating. It took me a little bit to warm up to the main characters but once I did, they completely had me. Great side characters too, I loved Bel especially. Where the book lost me a little bit was the scifi plot and worldbuilding, I was just a bit confused for a long time, especially in the first half which is rather slow. But like I said: I’m sure I’ll reread this and suddenly understand it all and give this the extra star it deserves.

Okay, maybe romance plots just aren’t for me. Mix that with heavy world building (that continues on, in detail, throughout the book) and it’s almost a wash. 

I did love the characters, and did hope for the best, but all too often I felt we lost the forest for the trees on this one.
