This was a great follow-up to Alienated. The characters continued to grow and I loved spending more time in Aelyx’s world or on his world I guess.

It was definitely interesting being on a different world with a different political structure and social norms. And Ms. Landers explores these differences without judgment. The story acknowledges both systems have positives and negatives.

Going in I was nervous about Cara and Aelyx being apart, but I actually liked it. They still had a connection, but were able to continue to grow and learn independently. And they had to work through some serious relationship issues which were handled in a mature way.

There were definitely things like unresolved-especially plot-wise, but I’m satisfied with the ending. I would be crazy excited if she announced a third book,  but won’t be disappointed if that doesn’t happen.

This was definitely a cute short story it was nice to get back in the world as I get prepared to read Invaded. And she quickly got me in the world again.

There’s nothing ground breaking in this story. It’s really just a fun story for people who loved the first book. I also get the impression the next book will be full of drama so this will hopefully help me get through that.

I do wish this was just a little bit longer. I wasn’t expecting it to end when it did, but I’m wondering if Ill feel differently when I read Invaded.

Thanks for reading!
