This book has a lot of great
aspects, but I felt like the story progression was a bit slow. There were
several times it just felt like too much filler was happening. This kind of
books often requires a lot of set up, world building, and explaining, and all
of that stuff is good with me, but there were just a few too many lulls for my
taste.
All of that aside, I like Colt.
He is an interesting character with an interesting history. The little stuff
that bothered me about him just go to strength him as a character. It makes him
more realistic and more relatable. They are human flaws not writing flaws.
Dani is also a really great
character. She felt the most authentic to me out of all the people in this book,
she could be a main in her own right. Her sense of humor is pretty fantastic
too. Colt and Dani balance each other so well, and their dynamic was definitely
refreshing to read.
I didn't want to like Oz, but I
did. He's kind of an ass, but in the best possible way. He is able to be overly
silly and weird (in a good way!) then turn around and be serious and kind of
badass. I did end up liking what he brought to the table.
The plot is a little... lacking.
It doesn't feel like there was that big of an ark, and I don't feel like it was
resolved enough. Even though it is part of a series, and there are more books
to read, it seems like more should've been accomplished.
Overall, I liked the book and
have high hopes for the second book!
