I might have said this in my review for the first instalment but I kind of wish this trilogy was all just one big 600-page book because the writing, and particularly the characterisation, are both very very good, but the story for each instalment doesn't have much of a beginning, middle and end. It just feels like what I suspect it is - a single story that got broken up into three small 200-page pieces.

That said. It's very good.

I really like the FMC, Joss, and did so from the first page of the first book. She has this quiet strength that I just adore. And she's so good and so caring of other people. I just don't know how she does her job and it was crazy to read in the author's notes of the first book that this actually happened to certain families!

Her relationship with Henrick, her sort of brother, is very sweet as well. They're constantly saving each other. and they never even have to ask. They just have each other's backs at all times.

As for the other blooming relationship with Aric - again I felt like we were just getting somewhere when it ended so I think I'm going to be picking up the final - and I suspect most action-packed - instalment very soon!
