This book had enticing main characters and lots of action scenes that kept the plot interesting.
I liked that the protagonists got together early on in the novel, because it changed up the regular formula where the romance only climaxes at the end. It was fun to watch their relationship ebb and flow as new challenges surfaced around them. The sexual tension was great.
. The Ballenger family has a lot of siblings, which was easier to keep track of than I thought it would be when I started the book. Also, the Rahtan are mostly female which is awesome to see play out. I like how characters from the Remnant chronicles are used in this novel too, and it actually made me like the old books more, because I got a better understanding of the characters based on how they developed after the Remnant chronicles left off.
