What a great read! I love a good multiple POV story and this did not dissapoint. I fell in love with some of these characters and have complicated feelings about the others. The relationships between everyone is unique and there are some interesting developments that I would not have guessed from when we are introduced to them. 

Blake has done a wonderful job writing these characters as complex people who each have a distinct voice. The characters' abilities and how those effect the way each of them thinks adds depth and a creative twist to their POVs that I really enjoyed. 

Parisa's chapters were especially interesting to me because they give us some small insights into the other characters' minds from a different mindset. Her scenes in Dalton's mind were some that left me with the most questions and some of what I am most excited to see play out in the second book.


I found the pacing to be great. Since the book takes place over the span of
about one year, there's bound to be time skips. I thought that the time in between the events we get to read felt natural, like the reader is given enough information to understand that some amout of time has passed but it doesn't feel rushed or skipped over. The reader knows that the characters have been busy during these times, but it doesn't feel like we are missing out on anything
