Mars needs women + fated mates + psychic dream connection.

I thought some of the ideas in this book were unique and well plotted out. The dystopian earth that the FMC comes from and the chaos of trying to survive with no survival skills were realistic. However, the dream space - where the FMC and MMC meet when they are fated to be together, was impractical beyond being fantasy. Everyone needs sleep to cool down from anger sometimes and the dream space makes it so you are literally always with your partner. Ugh no. Basically in the dream space you are awake all night and only your body rests. I think the idea of meeting your fated mate in a dream has merit, but there has to be a break from them.
