I received this book from the author through Lovers of Paranormal in exchange for an honest review.
The opening is a little confusing. Because of this, I found the novel a little slow and hard to get into at first. I think that a slight change in the order of events and dreams in the first two chapters could have greatly improved this problem. I found Thea to be a little too closed off within her thoughts. I expected there to be a little more going on in her mind since I was watching the story unfold from her point of view. However, her character developed greatly over the course of the novel. Some of the other characters are a little underdeveloped, but there was progress and I'm looking forward to seeing how they are further developed.
I greatly enjoyed the creation of this world and how society slowly killed their planet. It was interesting to imagine the state of Thea's surroundings and how distant humanity had become. The descriptions are absolutely beautiful. The way that colors are described reminds me of black and white photos with a single object rendered with its natural coloring. It leaves a lasting impression. I think that the plot is fresh and has a lot of potential, so I am looking forward to the second installment of the series.
