I'm irriated that I've sat on this series so long because now I want to hoover it up. I guess the upside is that I get to romp through four books at break-neck speed.

The lead character Paige made me compulsively read this book. Her surface character, her underworld character and her character in captivity made her multifaceted...and then there was her frustrating tendency to run headlong into stupid situations through obstinacy. I may have muttered at her a few times in annoyance.

The characters around her, Nick, Jaxon, Liss and the Warden (and more) were elusive in many ways and I turned those pages to find out more. The Rephs most of all were hard to fully understand from the anatomy, the skills and the allegiances they held. Alongside them, the buzzers remained a little elusive too.

The aether world was fascinating as were the talents of the unnaturals. These elements made Paige so interesting as I fathomed her and she fathomed others.

I made the hilarious mistake of looking up some art because I needed to mentally sketch out the warden but my goodness, that was not helpful. If anyone has any character art they know of, please help me!

Thank you to my buds Amy and Cat who have championed me opening these pages for years but have been patient until I have.
