Review

* Non-Spoiler Review*

I am finally on a roll with reading through my subscription books – this book is from my November TBR FairyLoot.

Initial impression, the way the story is written is reminiscent of stories I read back 10 years ago. What I mean is that the storyline had a predictable setup – which many authors followed back in the day – and to be honest, I am not mad about it!

Our main character, Raven, is a hard-nosed bounty hunter whose main objective in life is to protect and provide for her brother, Jed. The world they live in is divided into three sectors: the Low, Middle and Upper Class. These were based on your profession and, of course, your social standing.

I enjoyed a dystopian setting. The author didn’t expand as much on the world, but I was satisfied with the amount that was provided – it gave me enough to imagine.

The premise of a prison break was engaging, I could feel the suspense throughout the novel. While there was a lot more room to expand on how dire the place was, I was still itchy to know how the MC was going to achieve the escape.

I enjoyed the supporting characters and the love interest, too. There was enough backstory to help me build a liking or disliking of the characters. The romance was slow burn, and I definitely had been antsy for something to happen. This slow burn was one of the contributing factors to why I felt the writing was a little dated, but not to its detriment.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. A prison break, dystopian romance. I am not sure if this should be under romantacy as there wasn’t any fantastical things about it. But I am not too bothered.
