2.5/5 Stars
Pendt Harland has spent her entire life on a space ship, being told she is worthless and unwanted. During a space station layover, Pendt decides to escape by sneaking off the ship and hiding in Brannick Station. She is discovered by the Brannick twins, and they decide to hatch a plan to escape their pre-determined destinies, that is beneficial to them all.
I honestly don't know how to feel about this book... I think the premise could have been really cool, but the overall execution was a bit of a let down. The genes-mage aspect was pretty cool, and I was definitely intrigued with that but there were a lot of plot points that made me really uncomfortable and I was not a fan of. There is a giant info-dump at the beginning, and then it is mostly just a lot of the main character telling us events that are happening. The book is an extremely fast read though, and I finished it in two sittings. But I wouldn't say it was a necessarily good book.
