  The author, Kanika, sent me a free copy of this book in return for an honest review. Thank you! I want to get this out of the way first: the writing style didn’t particularly vibe with me. Kanika’s style has heavy use of dialogue, without much in the way of description. I’ve seen this style before, and I’ve enjoyed it in short stories, but for a longer book I really want more visuals to go along with the characters’ lines. It was several chapters in before we learned that our main character, Kara, has blue skin. It seems like a small detail, but it’s an important one. That being said, the characterization is good. You get a quick feel for all of them, especially the main two, Kara and Cifer. The dialogue is also well done: witty banter and long, emotional conversations abound across every page. Kanika is imaginative in how she presents her characters and their different ways of life, making a world that’s certainly intriguing, even if you wish you had more information about it. There
