Delta was the main reason why I loved this book. She was funny and there were so many times when I would drop my phone to roll and laugh. I did not find her monologues annoying, I find her thought process interesting. Despite her quirkiness, she was not obnoxious when having to deal with certain situations, and I loved that.

Now, the heroes, Rafferty, Jerif, Echo, and Crux were interesting at first. I hoped that they were more complex but they were not. It was obvious that Delta was the main focus of this book.

I do not mind the Chosen One trope if it is executed well. There was enough mystery and hints to assume that Delta was an ultra-powerful being and I have no complaints with that as well.

There is not much plot in this, and it was more character-driven which I always enjoy anyway, so there was that.

This book ended with a cliffhanger and an intense scene. I was devouring it like I was starved and my heart was pounding. I could say that this book ended where it should be. It was perfect.

I gave this book a 4.75 out of 5 stars.

Though I gave high scores on some areas such as Characters, Ambience, Writing Style, Intrigue, and Enjoyment, the remaining parts such as Plot and Logic were given lower scores.

This was one of the closest to a 5-star I could give if only the plot were more intriguing and the heroes had a little more personality.

I also read the next book but, I did not like it just as much as this one. So I decided to separate the two since I really really loved this book.
