 Bent Heavens by Daniel Kraus wasn’t what I was expecting, but it definitely kept me entertained from cover to cover. I loved the concept, and the setting, however, the plot took a bit of suspension of disbelief for me. With fiction this is often the case, but in a more realistic fiction (just meaning a story that seems to take place in the real world) novel, this was a little bit harder. I thought that the characters were interesting, though a little one note in some aspects. This book has been in my TBR pretty much since it was released, so I was really excited to read it, and from an entertainment viewpoint, it did not disappoint. I thought it was pretty fast-paced and kept moving throughout to keep the reader interested, but not going too much away at the same time. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and is perfect for a suspense, thriller, and sci-fi lover.
