"Love love love! The slow burn is a bit too slow for me, but wow does she make up for it in world building! Can't wait to read more of this. It's been ages since I read a book where the MCs are not in college or thereabouts. Very refreshing to read characters who have more life experiences and knowledge of themselves. "
"I kinda went for broke on this one. I just happen to see an ad by Jennifer Estep and committed to the book and the audio at the same time. I spent the last three days alternating between reading and listening. And this book has fully captured my imagination.<br/><br/>While this book as that slow world building and character building to get us to the story, I think this trilogy (if it stays a trilogy) will be a fun one. I'm not sure it is ground breaking in a cool new way, but I really love the space opera Estep has put forth. It's fun, it's engaging, and very captivating. I enjoyed the story very much.<br/><br/>I had read a snippet online about how someone wasn't satisfied with the enemy to lovers plot, I enjoyed the build up. While I'm not sure I would really call this enemy to lovers, as they didn't seem to be enemies long, it's definitely easier to say than random strangers thrown together and plot devices happen. But really, I'm happy with this slow burn that is going on.<br/><br/>I just don't want to wait another year for the next one."
