I liked the story a lot but I also found myself distracted by life and other things, so it gets a couple less stars because it could not seem to compete well for my attention.
I LOVED Arc, he was funny and snarky and arrogant in a way that doesn't hurt anyone but is easy to make fun of. He was a really cool character. I liked that he made a little found family too, and he treated them all well and was friends with them and took care of them too. He was a cool dude and like I only saw green flags from him.
Sam was also really cool. I quite liked her, it was really nice to watch her grow into herself a little and watch her 'bloom' (Arc's nickname for her is "my flower"). I will admit that I was kinda sick of her whole 'I'm worthless' story line by the end of the book tho. It seems its a troupe for me that I just do not like much, she just came across a little whiny, and I hate saying that because he backstory was a sad one with an abusive ex, but like I don't really wanna hear about that when I'm reading a cool Sci-fi mafia romance, and like every time I thought she was over it she'd bring it up again, and I was like still?
Besides that she was great.
I also liked seeing some of the other characters that become the focus of the next books in the series. I will admit that the descriptions were kinda shit. Like from solely what was written in the book I could not tell you what a single one of them looked like or really tell them apart, even searching her insta for pics proved a little hard since I didn't really know the names, and some of them on insta don't seem to have the characters name attached. So I struggled a little.
Overall though its a good book, and I'll be reading the next one to finish off Arc and Sam's story, but I think I'll take a break before moving on with the series. I think this is the type of series that you can take a break from and come back to it later and still enjoy it.
