City of Shattered Light by Claire Winn
adventurous funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: Yes

Thank you to Flux Books and NetGalley for the gifted copy of City of Shattered Light!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Asa is set to inherit her father's tech company, but she is quickly realizing he doesn't always make the most ethical choices.  When he experiments on her sister, Asa decides it's for the last time and escapes with her sister's digitized mind to Requiem.

Riven is determined to make a name for herself in Requiem's underworld.  However, when Asa brings a computer virus with her to Requiem, Riven must work with the other members in her crew to help save Asa and her city.

Lately science fiction books have been hit or miss for me so I went into City of Shattered Light with no expectations.  This book hooked me in so quickly!  I definitely preferred Riven's storyline to Asa's but I love how Asa works with Riven's found family to stop the threat of this virus.  Between the slow burn romance and this technology-heavy world, I highly recommend it!
