See allThe first quarter of this book was good, which always seems to be a red flag for me in a book. Promises like these seem to never pan out. Eventually you start to see the author's political and religious views start to bleed into the book.
I very rarely rate books one star, but when an author shows racist and anti-atheist characters prevailing it's not even about the book anymore. This book and author pissed me off.
The only thing worth redeeming is the narrator for the audiobook, who is kickass and a favorite of mine.

This was such a nice surprise.
Never read a Marko Kloos story before, but after reading Scorpio, I'm definitely interested in more of Frontline's universe.
I would have loved to see more development in our main character, Alex. Ironically, it seems there is one too many times that I was having an out of body experience with her, which I know is a strange description, but I might be picky when it comes to heroines, because they are always the characters that really give heart to a kickass story and stick out for me. It seemed as if we truly don't see what truly motivates her, even with her devastating orphan backstory. Although, this doesn't drop the quality of this story, as the overall storyline is fleshed out and the world-building is there in great lengths. Everything compliments our MC in each passing chapter. Finishing this story just makes me excited to see more of Alex as we dove deeper into this new series.
Would happily recommend this book to anyone who loves Sanderson. Got massive Skyward vibes from this one!
