REVIEW

The beginning of this story was a little too slow for me & I got bored, but the later half was good. I didn’t expect where the plot led, but enjoyed the drama along the way. I liked almost every character, but wished the novella went more into depth about who they are & how they ended up in these positions.

I had too many questions about the world building, a lot of which were never answered… the realism suffered from it a little. I had to consciously suspend my disbelief at various points.
