Completely not what I expected. But a very interesting take on modern problems, how we face them, and who we become because of those issues. Certainly diverting, if not the clearest of messages or strongest of stories.

I am devastated that I have to wait nearly six months for the next book. This one was so good. The slow burn romance is delicious. I love the Villain. He may be my new favorite book boyfriend.

Oh my god, do I love this book. The plot is awesome. The twist is excruciating. The MC is super relatable (maybe that’s just me) and the Villain is amazing.

Overall, still an enjoyable series, even though as the books continue it gets more and more convoluted. Shifting perspectives also are a bit confusing, but I generally enjoyed the storyline.

Answers some questions but also gives me a whole new set of questions. More spice and a really excellent comeuppance for at least one villain. But truly the worst cliffhanger yet. Also contains this truly incredible line that I had to save for posterity:
Their gazes meet, and some sort of testosterone-induced understanding passes between them. 
Just… yes. Judge the menfolk. Excellent.

God, I love sci-fi. This is so good. It’s quick and intelligently written and I cannot wait to read more about Murderbot’s adventures.

This book completely sucked me in. The world is fabulous. I want to understand the mythology and the lore even more now. I just hate that I have to wait for the sequel for so long since I jumped on this one as soon as I realised it was released…

The writing has its issues: at times too modern, or too repetitive, or just inconsistent with the characterization. But GOD the story is compelling, and I have to keep going…

Parts of it are a bit predictable. That being said, I am INVESTED in this. I have some hunches I’m 100% certain are true, even if they haven’t been revealed yet. But I don’t care, I need to know more about this world and these characters.

It isn’t the best of Carissa’s work, but it’s a fun, diverting read that helps add to the lore of the Nyaxia novels, which I really love.
