When a spy is stranded on a dead planet with her mortal enemy, she must figure out how to survive before she can uncover the conspiracy that landed them both there in the first place.
When I saw this book called a “space opera”, I must say I was doubtful that I would enjoy it. I imagined a huge book that overwhelmed me with the large number of characters and several competing plot lines. I am so happy that I took the chance on this book, because I was so wrong.
This book has a focused plot, smooth pacing, and great character development. I enjoyed that, although there was a slight romance between the two main characters, the romance did not change the essence of their characters. The plot touches on the unintended consequences of technological advancements, consequences that impact not only the environment, but humanity itself. I did not see the plot twists coming and the ending was satisfying, but left the door open for a second book.
This book is the first in an expected duet. I highly recommend this book to anyone willing to try out a sci fi book. Thanks to Net Galley and Orbit Books for providing a review copy to me in exchange for my honest review.
