OMG Adriene is like Harrorhark meets someone more sinister. The angst! The world building! I loved it, what a journey.

I requested a digital copy in order to sample the prose on my phone (since I don't have a eReader) before requesting a physical copy for review. My review will be based on the physical ARC I read (if I qualify)

What an unputdownable military scifi novel! Dewes has a talent for melding the action you'd expect from military sf with strong characterizations of the lead characters, protagonists and antagonists alike. Although some of the tropes being used are old hat for veteran scifi readers, Dewes puts her own spin on them to create something new for her readers. I honestly don't know if I'm more excited for a sequel to this book, or for book 3 in her The Divide series. (Why not both?)
