I almost put this book down, but thankfully read a few reviews before I decided to give up. I’m an impatient reader- it just takes a little bit for this book to really begin. After that, I flew through, and loved it.

Run continuously seems to fall prey to a new master. She’s flawed and broken, slowly realizing how everything fits together and the true motives fueling the utter bloodbath that is brewing between the empire, the republic and its allies.
