I really liked the characters and the plot. Vega in particular was very interesting, even though she was just a side character (in this book).

The main reason for my dissatisfaction is the writing style. Almost every single paragraph is a single sentence, and the author tends to repeat ideas or sentiments when they don't need to. This means that the writing is both boring and too fast. I was a little disappointed because the plot and characters were great, but the writing is genuinely intolerable, and I don't think I'll continue this series.

Towards the end of the book, Mere gets kidnapped, and the people who kidnapped her attempt to rape her. One of them gets so far as to hold her down to the ground and partially take her shirt off. He is stopped before he gets her pants off, and she never suffers and lingering psychological trauma from this event.
