Ruby Dixon does an amazing job of writing believable and relatable heroines thrown into difficult situations. Georgie is someone strong, almost in a subtle way, who strives to make things better instead of complaining about her lot in life. She's funny, persuasive, and stands up for the little guy. Although she doesn't naturally assume a role of leadership, she does what she has to so that she can keep the people around her safe.
Needless to say, the plot and world-building of IPB draws you in and keeps you hooked. Although Vektal is not my favourite at the start, and the writing indicates that it's through a misunderstanding of cultures, I definitely warm to him by the end.
However, I will add that a lot of these could do with a second round of editing as there are typos, changes from first to third POV mid sentence, and the kindle display between page breaks is literally a blank page.

The sex scenes were...not my cup of tea. They were very...you know when you are making fun of bad heterosexual erotica and how to guy has a 20ft dick and the woman orgasms in 2 seconds? That's what it seemed to be.
Also, I'm assuming this is a fault of the platform I listened to the audiobook (spotify) and not the actual book, but content warnings were not read. Which meant that in the first chunk of the book, I was suddenly thrust into a r*pe scene of a background character by, for lack of a better term, prison guard. I was not prepared AT ALL for that and although it didn't go into much detail--it was still a jarring scene to listen to when doing my dishes!
