Is there a way to read a book too fast? 'Cause if there is, I think I did it, finishing this book in 4-5 hours. I think that my quickness made the book seem short, making it seem like there was less of a book. But the story was great. Helen's struggles with the whole Descending thing and the meeting of a new character, Orion, in the first few chapters made the book intriguing. It picked up where the book left off almost exactly (7 day difference), leaving me with few questions in my head (Thank you Josephine Angelini for not starting at some random time!). I enjoyed the ending that brought forth thoughts and inquiries that are the perfect set up for the final book.

However, I do believe that this series would've been better suited in the first person POV, because you could gain a deeper understanding of Helen's and the other characters thoughts. Besides that, another great book by Josephine Angelini and a nice sequel to "Starcrossed".
