This book was such an interesting premise, and an absolutely stunning and vivid world with a couple of flaws and execution for my personal taste.

As far as the things that I loved about this book, it was extremely well written. The prose was lush and rich, and gave wonderful imagery for the planet and the characters. I love that the characters were flawed from the beginning, and their flaws played a major part in the storyline. I feel like a whole lot was accomplished within this shorter story and I feel like, this could definitely have been made into a longer book and I still would've read it. I was very interested in the Gray and I wish we had gotten more explanation of what that was.


I stuck through this book simply because the characters in the story were so well done that I had to know what happened at the end. But getting through it was difficult due to the numerous POV changes with literally no warning and the flashbacks to different points in time within the book that were just thrown in there with absolutely no warning as well. It made it very hard Whose point of view was from as well as whether or not I was reading the current timeline or in an alternate.

I was also surprised by some of the content that was in the book that was not depicted in the synopsis. I had no idea it was a forced poly relationship that was against the wants of the characters. I kind of wish that had been described better in the synopsis it made it sound like it was consensual. Overall, I was able to get past that, but it was kind of surprising.

Despite these inconsistencies within the writing, I really enjoyed the story and the characters and easily finished novel. I'd read more by the author.
