This series seems to be following a routine of the start of the book being slow and the end of the book being very interesting with a lot of events. 

I’m enjoying the series but I’m struggling to see where this is going to go to warrant another 4 books! We will see…..

i really really loved this book in the series. i liked that we got to see more of the world and also got to see paige in her new leadership position. i also loved seeing the dynamics between the characters develop and grow. excited to see where the next book leads. 

3rd Read 2024 of the re-release revised version.
Closer to 4.5/4.75 Stars.
SpoilerMy least favourite of the series due to the pacing. I fount that everything just 'had' to go wrong for Paige and her gang of criminals and that there wasn't the balance of success for her like in other books of the series. But I still love this series so much.

It dragged a bit, the things that I didn't like earlier did not improve. Paige once again do not display as much synism as she used to. Perhaps to show character's growth dealing with hardship?

I would like to see more about Nadine and 

I lived the novella part which shows Page dealing with consequences of her torture as well as extremely funny flashbacks with the governor.

I was aware that the book would be a bit dragging but the characters and their story are still compelling me to read. I really strated to feel more connected with the FMC and MMC.

zippy super duper revolutionary fun but paige and arcturus feel somewhat circular ig we'll see whats going on in the next one
