|| Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group for providing me this arc in exchange for an honest review ! ||
It was awesome, a fast read and so hooking that I basically read it in 3 times and couldn't put it down otherwise. I'm always careful when I select a sci-fi happening in space because of terms and words I may not understand (as a non-english speaker, even in french I might not understand space stuff anyway lol), but that one was so easy to read and wasn't too heavy on the space stuff except for spaceships, asteroid, moon and jumps - so that was great!
I loved the Bonnie & Clyde vibe, I loved how we could follow Cyrus' side as well as he's supposed to try to catch them. It was really interesting and the way everything turned out was a good take and you could clearly see where things were directly putting what truly happened but in space and when some times things were a bit more open to fit in the book's plot. I have to say I mostly liked Jared, the couple's little hacker, than Ava and Shane themself - but they're made in a way that you can't really love them but also can't really dislike them, if you know what I mean? It was awesome to follow through their adventure but everything was so reckless lol. Really loved Cyrus's side and seeing his character developping like I wanted to - the ending was *chef kiss*!
The reason why it wasn't a 4.5 or even a 5 stars was that for most part we just forgot what was General Noth's priority : Nakara and inviding/using the undomed areas for mining. It just went nowhere and we didn't got anything about what happens next, maybe in an epilogue, of that planet. Also I would have really really loved an epilogue of Cyrus's doing maybe a couple months later! But maybe it stays open for a possible book 2?
*Also the repetition of the "razorsharp line" was taking me out of the book but I do hope it has been corrected before release, as I had an uncorrected proof~
