Description
Dimensions could not keep them apart, but can the AI controlling his world?
Lydia felt him before she heard him. His presence filled her, he warmed her soul. His voice moved her, awakening the life inside her that she thought was lost forever. For he was her soulmate, Jordan, and he lived in another plane of existence.
When he pulled her through spacetime to be with him in his dimension, she found herself in a world without him. A world controlled by an artificial intelligence – the Guardian, whose sole purpose was to protect the power source that ran the planet. But it did so at the cost of all who lived outside of its perfect city.
Within the Colony she was sheltered and protected from the Guardian, by two advanced races, also from other dimensions. But even they didn’t know how far the Guardian would go to get to her.
To survive, she must find within herself the courage and strength to fight for her life. But how far will she need to go to save Jordan and the colonists from the Guardian?

This book was movingly well-written when describing Lydia's (the main character) grief in losing her loved ones, as well as, describing the connection between Lydia and her love interest. I was emotionally impacted by many passages in the book and felt very connected to Lydia's experiences.
I have become a bit bored of the YA-dystopia-love-triangle-romance trend and I do find that, though well-written, this book followed the recipe for this sort of trend too closely for my taste. This is great for the author because I think it will be a hit but I personally will probably not continue reading new books in the series as I am satisfied with the conclusion as it is in this first book.
All that said, I truly enjoyed this book and will be looking out for any stand-alone books that R M Gilmour writes in the future!
