Quick and enjoyable read, but I found myself thinking the entire way through that not much was actually happening. Liked the main character despite finding her very single-minded, a bit dramatic, and hella edgy but not in a good way.
I dunno. Liked it, cool stuff in it, but it hasn't left a great impression on me at all. I don't have anything to really talk about in my review. The last 30 or so pages were cool because of the revelation about Donnally, the fight between two particular characters, and the way things seemed to be heading. But that cliffhanger was just...weird. It doesn't work well.
I appreciated that the romance was a barely-there factor tbh. Caledonia is so focused on one thing because of this one-track-mind she has that she barely even acknowledges her attraction to Oran (which is what it is, it's not love considering she knows nothing about him as a person and she's spent the majority of the book judging him harshly for his past actions), and her sudden steamy kiss with him is kind of glossed over and moved past quickly. That's all fine, 'cause Caledonia feels like the kind of girl who wouldn't fixate too much on hot guy, especially when she's working towards something more important.
That's all I have to say. This review seems more like it's for those who've already read the book, so I half-apologise to those who haven't read it.
