4 stars. I came into Enclave already a fan of Ann Aguirre, having read [b:Grimspace|1828067|Grimspace (Sirantha Jax, #1)|Ann Aguirre|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1298780718s/1828067.jpg|1827857] and thoroughly enjoying that aforementioned book. Enclave seemed ready made for me, carrying a lot of the themes that I enjoy (post apocalyptic wasteland, journey, evil conspiracies). Aguirre did not disappoint. She's got a deft hand at creating new worlds without delving too far deeply into them which I think is quite a talent. A lot of authors who write fantasy and sci fi get caught in the trap of trying to explain too much, which can bog down the narrative but Aguirre seems to know just how much is enough to pique the reader's interest without dragging us down with the details.
The pacing was bang on, with enough action to keep the story moving along, enough so that even though I took two days to read this novel most of the delay was just being able to find the time to sit down and *read* it. Once I had a chunk of time blocked off, I devoured the book quite quickly.
The protagonist here is just as good as the other book I've read by Aguirre, a strong female character with just enough vulnerability to keep her from becoming too Mary Sue. I found all the cast of characters here to be quite likeable, even the ones that have antagonistic tendencies. A very strong showing and I'm excited to read the next book.
