5.0

This series has been my first dip into Sci-Fi in a looong time... and each release leaves me eager to slip into the world and hang out with the characters again.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book and tore through it as fast as two screaming kids on summer break would allow.

Each book leaves me going "THAT'S MY FAVORITE EVAAAAAAR!" and this one did it again.

I hope we get to see more of the settlement and it's people in later books.

L.J. Cohen has a way of finding a solid balance between setting a scene and letting the rest of the details filter in through the dialogue, atmosphere, etc. While I've had a few moments in previous books drag a little, this one is tight, fast and full-tilt from chapter 1.

Her characters are also... people. I'll admit, I've not always been a fan of Ro. In fact, sometimes I didn't really like her much. But as characters grow and the plot expands, I'm finding the changes and shifting dynamics satisfying. A journey within a journey and what not.

And that ending...

Can't wait to see what happens in #5.
