4.0

It took me about 50% of this book to really get into it, but glad I stuck with it. The first half had a lot of world building and character creation (most of which had great value). Besides the slow start, the only other grievance I had was with the main male character. I found his traits to be anything less than admirable and found myself disappointed in the relationship development between Tabby and him. I am not sure if that was the intention or not. I had much more of an emotional connection to Alice and Eli. I loved the small references to future events.
