4.0

I really enjoyed this book. I felt the action moved along the plot well, and the characters are fun. The romance is a big  factor in the book as well, so watching that develop was expected but still a fun read.

I loved seeing a strong woman as the protagonist and how her relationships evolved due to her nature. A reason I did give it a 4 and not higher was I wish the book was told in her POV, not a 3rd person POV. I feel if it was from hers, we’d get to know a bit more about her relationship with Ryon, and her thoughts regarding her experiences more. I do enjoy their relationship and the development of it, but I think it could be a deeper connection between them.

UMMM THAT ENDING?! EXCUSE ME?! 

It took about 30-50 pages to really get into this story. There is a lot of world building, and I had to reread a couple times to really get a grasp. Ultimately, I think the author did a great job. Especially with a debut novel!

I can't wait to get my hands on book two in September. AND THE CLIFFHANGER BETTER HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME OR I WILL RIOT!
