Probably my new favorite stand alone. I loved this book from the get go. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to finish this book (and I love my sleep). The writing is amazing with tons of relatable situations thrown in the most outrageous ideas (like alien invasions for example). I never considered myself a gamer or someone who loves alien sci-fi but this book has showed me otherwise! I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new, semi short novel!

I had low expectations for this book when I picked it up. I just wanted to start something short-ish and easy to read, but I was quickly impressed. I fell in love with the characters and with the plot. It seemed that so much happens in such a short amount of pages, but it didn't seem rushed or lacking in description. Also, the plot was very complex and intricate, which authors don't seem to be able accomplish well as of late, but it worked well within this story and hid a few surprises. Overall, I loved the read and can't wait to finish the trilogy!

I thought this book was well written with an interesting plot, but didn't make one of my favorites. The characters were intriguing, but I didn't fall in love with any of them, and a few of them remained underdeveloped through the end. While the writing was superb, the mystery side of the book was every obvious and revealed itself to me far too quickly.
