First of all look at the gorgeous cover! I knew as soon as I saw that beauty that I was in for a treat with this book and I was not disappointed at all. I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but it's hard not to look at this book and not want to read it. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I guess I actually need to talk about the story some and not just about that beautiful cover, that's the last time I swear. thankfully, the story was just as good as the cover, that's the last time I'm serious. It was so action packed, and very fast paced two things that go well together. It was a real page turner, meaning I didn't put the thing down until I finished it. I needed to know more and then next thing I know it's over.
The only negative thing that I can say is that it was a little dull at the start. Also slightly confusing but it was easy to get through those parts. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with the characters and the story. Though I am a lover of sci-fi so it's no surprise that I enjoyed this so much.
I highly recommend this to all the sci-fi lovers out there.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought the concept of birthright theft was very original. I will be continuing with this series.

I received this book free from Vanquish Books in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book.
Just the premise was enough to grab me. I mean, birthright theft? What’s not to be intrigued about? And it's what pushed me to finish reading this novel. Nothing is fully explained until the latter half of the book and there were so many threads to weave together, making it a struggle at times, but I'm so glad that I persevered.
The writing was really good. The dialogue needs a bit of work (it felt a bit forced at times), but the action sequences were powerful and you could really get inside both Emma and Cam’s heads. It’s easy to fall into the trap with a third-person perspective with characters overlapping too much and seemingly becoming the same person, but they stayed fairly distinct from one another.
I hope this powerful idea is kept up through the coming books and the characters remain strong. It really is a great book, but it does require some focus to keep the momentum going. It's certainly not a light read. Hopefully with the next book, it’ll make a lot more sense and won’t be as difficult to keep up.
