I read and loved Miller's debut novel Ambasadora, so I was thrilled to see that she had written a new book -- and one in the Ambasadora-Verse to boot.If you haven't read Ambasadora, no worries, this book is a prequel, taking place one month before the events of Ambasadora (so, by all means read these books in whichever order you like).I was very happy to see this prequel focus in on Mari and David, two of my favourite characters from Ambasadora. They deserve a book of their own and Miller gives them an exciting and romantic story that keeps the pages turning (I read this in two sittings). That's the only downside of books like these -- such quick and enjoyable reads -- I end up having to wait just that much longer for her next book.Miller is at the top of her game with this sequel too. The writing is smooth and visceral and carries you along effortlessly. She writes in a wonderfully lean style, never getting bogged down with lengthy expository sections (all too typical of some Sci-Fi).Highly recommended!
