Emily Modlin

Brilliant story.

Revisado: 03-28-24

This story, the characters, the fascinating world and mechanisms of power -I will read anything and everything Craig Montgomery writes from now on. I have dozens of highlights in my ebook just because of his beautifully unexpected phrasing. That alone was enough to make me pause at the end of the second chapter (I was reading on KU) and immediately purchase the book so it could be MINE. About 80% of the way through I shook my head, admitted to myself I was a goner, and went to purchase a physical copy. I really enjoyed the audiobook as a reread—it still felt just as engaging as the first time.
And the surprises around every corner! The way the plot unfolded was masterful. At several points in the book I was amazed to find that a striking moment was followed by another layer, and then another. All of the relationships represented in the story were full of nuance and such depth, particularly with the two main characters. Their tenderness and regard for each other is something I would want any person in a relationship to see-Helix and Casper should totally be the standard for how to build an emotionally healthy relationship amidst a secretive, crumbling empire. I'm an American, so yeah, I took notes.
My heart is so full after reading this, and I cannot wait for the second book.
