I’m so hooked on this world and cannot wait to see where we go from this book. I started with Greer’s book, and it is kind of spin-off/companion book to this series so some of the characters overlap. But I thought that the series was going to follow one story and end with a cliffhanger until the last book. However, I’m glad that isn’t what happened. This first book follows Ember’s mom, Emerson. We actually see Ember in Greer’s book since they are friends and she was really worried about Ember’s disappearance. Anyways Ember is just a baby. We learn how she came to be, how her mom met her fated mates, and even how her brothers were born. I also really like the fact that it had a solid ending too. Anyway, although I really love this world and book, I do like Greer’s book more. There were a lot of similarities between these two books. However, in this one, I just wish that the dark/suspense side was a tiny bit more prevalent and also that we had more world-building. Haven is so interesting to me, but we just barely get into it here. I mean we learn some of the basics like being a sanctuary city, how if humans leave, they don’t remember anything, and some of the dynamics but I want so much more, and it’s something that I wish happened in Greer’s book too even though she ends up in a different city. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series not just for more world building but also to see more of the parents’ books and their connections to Greer’s book. I need more in this world ASAP!
