Very good book, my only regret is that it took me this long to read it. I liked the characters, I feel like the story line moved along at a good pace and the writing was easy to read and stay engaged with. Overall I kind of loved this book. I would recommend it. 5 out of 5 stars. Bring on book two!

The first part dragged a little, and the angst made me roll my eyes a bit, but I absolutely devoured the second half/last third of this. I found the main romance to be unexpectedly compelling, even as I found

Laia to be a hilariously,  implausibly bad, spy

. I kept wondering how

she hadn't been caught yet, but of course the Commandant knew the whole time

.

Side note: I imagine every Augur as Snoke and you can't tell me I'm wrong.
