I’m hesitant to write an extensive review. Typically, when the first book meets or exceeds my “definitely worth the credit” expectations, the next installment turns out to be crap.
I’ll say that I was pleasantly surprised by the world-building here. The four main characters, and even some secondary ones, are nicely fleshed out. The author didn’t make the LFC a “badass” only to convert her into a whimpering pile of goo when the MC affected her. That’s definitely refreshing. The author also refrained from using repetitive phrases, which drives me insane. So no “I released the breath I was holding” or “my heart skipped a beat”.
On to book 2!
