Peng Shepherd has done it again! She really commits to her concepts and thinks about how her characters will react within the world she’s created. Even though it’s a sci fi/dystopian/almost fantasy read, I was more emotionally connected to these characters than I was expecting to be. I was completely engrossed in the story, but I knocked my rating down to 4.5 because there were some fantasy/magical elements that weren’t really explained and some storylines that didn’t fit well for me.
