Review

The story is a mixture of action, science fiction, and pirates. On the other hand, the story is also about the struggle with dealing with one’s demons and trying to trust yourself and not to let people step in the way of your dreams. In the beginning of the book, I wasn’t drawn into the story until the fifth or sixth chapter, to be honest. But once the story got more in depth I was more interested. There were also times where I felt like the characters in the story need more developments and more in depth back story. Hopefully, in the sequel, I get that. My overall feeling is that the book is a good but I would like to see more action and hopefully the sequel adds more fun.
