Fun Read

Fast paced and a lot more drama than I was expecting. I am eager to read more.

Wonderful adventure

I loved this book! I was fascinated by the concept but really fell for the characters. It encompasses the very different and yet very interconnected aspects of Kat’s persona. She’s so freaking cool. There’s also some rather thought provoking issues that have major parallels in our current time. I highly recommend this book!! And now I’m chomping at the bit for the next installment.

Good strong woman lead

I really enjoyed this first in a series book! The characters and setting are well developed. The story is intriguing. Set in the future, this story isn’t nerdy futuristic, but believable. The author has given us hope for some things changing but has left some unfortunate societal norms still in place for the main character to have to deal with.

The audio book is well read, although there are a couple of editing hiccups - not enough to hurt the story. I still enjoyed having this story read for me.

I’m looking forward to the second book to find out what happens next.
