Not a bad first entry in a series. The FMC is mostly insufferable but slowly got better. The romance sort of came out of nowhere and didn't add much to the plot.

The initial premise of the book was interesting and I enjoyed how McEwan revealed the world and offered answers at a pace that kept things interesting. There was a bit too much smut/lost without you love (afte falling quickly) for my taste. Some of the inner monologue got a bit annoying for me, largely related to the above qualms. However, I remained engaged and willing to return to it until the story was finished.

Overall I enjoyed it but would be unlikely to reread it… the issues above combined with the one below, made it a likely one time only story for me. Could be great for a different type of reader though.

Now… light possible spoilers ahead…

I didn’t care for the ending. To me it wasn’t a good set up for the next book but rather a huge loss or a huge throwaway when everything somehow resolves in the next book’s initial chapters. The wrong kind of cliffhanger to try to entice you to pick up book two.

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I felt the action moved along the plot well, and the characters are fun. The romance is a big factor in the book as well, so watching that develop was expected but still a fun read.

I loved seeing a strong woman as the protagonist and how her relationships evolved due to her nature. A reason I did give it a 4 and not higher was I wish the book was told in her POV, not a 3rd person POV. I feel if it was from hers, we’d get to know a bit more about her relationship with Ryon, and her thoughts regarding her experiences more. I do enjoy their relationship and the development of it, but I think it could be a deeper connection between them.

I loved this. Absolutely loved it. Blasted through, sad it’s over, am D Y I N G that the next one won’t be out for months - and on that cliffhanger?! How very dare (but I still adore you, Stacey!)
