I am a little mixed with this one. The storyline is really intriguing especially when we learn that they are stuck in an echo, however, I was NOT digging the new mom thing. I felt like the internal new mom dialogue and the "I'm on leave" that kept getting thrown was taking away from the story. At points, I started to wonder if maybe the "games" had to do with her having the child with how often it kept popping up. It wasn't relevant to the story at hand. I personally would have enjoyed not having those bits in the story.

I really enjoyed when Rika became more prominent in the story. She is hands down my favorite character and I loved how her character developed. The big secret when it came to her was worth making it to the end. I am undecided if I will continue the series since I do not dig the whole "mom" theme that keeps happening, but if it means more Rika...I just might.

Thank you Orbit for the advanced copy!
