Finding the Forward, Part One

Wrote a review for

A very calm read.

  • This is the same world from this author's other series, Into the Parallel Omegaverse, this time we follow different characters in a different type of situation but we still see some of the characters from the other series.
  • I feel the pacing on this book was better and so was the more technical topics, this probably because we have a lot less of them.
  • The FMC was a character that we met in the previous series, she was already someone we liked and here we just built on top of what we knew, however when we get deeper into her personality I found she lost some of the charm. She came off as confident and responsible but overworked and charged with too many responsibilities but in this book her confidence faded and instead she was just lost, I think this was meant to be because of something that happened right at the beginning of this book but she seemed to get worse as the story progressed. I still enjoyed her but it didn't feel like the same character.
  • When it comes to the MMC's,
    • Grif, the man she met in a plane and stayed obsessed with until they found each other. He was sweet and his arc seems to be left a lot for the next book even though he feels like the main guy since he was the point of contact.
    • Dean, just an overall nice character that didn't cause problems and should have more page time in my opinion.
    • Jonas, the responsible one who takes care of them and accepted and understood the situation after a brief background check.
    • AJ, the guy who started out as an insufferable child but then got redeemed and over his issues in one talk. This came as a good thing because even though I kinda hated him his shift was a good one, even if he doesn't get too much page time.
  • The conflict here suffers from the same as the previous series, there is very little of it. We have the overall secret that will probably cause some problems in the next book, some mildly foreshadowed problems that will also feature in the next book given the cliffhanger stopped there, and the same type of relationship doubts from the previous series.

In conclusion, it was a somewhat calm book with some nice emotional moments that still feels like an introduction. (at least this is a part one!)
