4.0

I picked this up from the library, not realizing it was the seventh book in a series. At first I had a little trouble getting into it, not because of the story (that grabbed me right away) but because I felt very ambivalent about the writing style. But it gradually pulled me in until I looked at my clock and went "Holy shit, when did 3 AM happen??". I cannot express how impressed I am by the story, the storytelling, and the world building. It doesn't hurt that I'm a Puget Sound girl who recognized a lot the locales (FOR THE RECORD, Purdy has more than the women's prison...sigh.) and has been feeling homesick.
Highly recommend.
