(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
When I originally entered to win a copy of this book, I actually had no idea what it was about. But I was drawn to the title and the pretty cool front cover.
I found this book really easy to read. Although I hadn’t read the preceding books, I was able to understand everything that was going on. I liked the two main characters and it was interesting to see how their relationship developed over the course of the book.
One thing I particularly liked about this book was the fact that it used God and religious values so much, even going so far as to have the characters wait until after they were married to sleep together.
The differences between people from Earth and people from Sentria were quite interesting, though it meant that parts of the book were quite heartbreaking when I knew what was eventually going to happen.
Eve was an intriguing character. There were hints of her own justification of her actions, but by the end of the book, I felt that what happened to her was deserved. I also found her daughter to be quite an interesting character and someone I would have liked to see more of.
I liked that there was some use of politics in this book. It was good to see how things were going on Sentria at points in the book.
Towards the end of the book, there were quite a lot of sad things happening, but the very last chapter provided a lot of hope. I felt this was a fitting end to the story and, although sad at turns, it was well-written and definitely worth reading.
