A review by tani
Breach Zone by Myke Cole
4.0
The lack of a fifth star is probably more due to personal preference than anything. Although this book is about morals, it's also a big-time battle book. I'm not a big battle-book person, which means that battles are less likely to hold my interest.
That said, where this book excelled for me was actually backstory. I really fell in love with Grace, to the point where I want to just label the entire thing Grace's story. I wish, so desperately, that things did not end the way they do for her, though I certainly don't fault any of the characters for them. I was also really truly impressed by Cole's ability to make me like Harlequin. Not a character I would have thought I'd be empathizing with.
Now, if only we could have one more book. I really want the negotiations and politics beyond the war. I want to see the change and be assured that it really does happen. Battles are great and all, but I really want to see societal change. Maybe there will be a book four? Or at least something else set in this world, so we can see how things turned out?
