Jericho is my favorite book boyfriend of all time, so I've been anxiously awaiting his book with very high expectations. Those expectations were met and even exceeded in this book! I loved Olivia for Jericho. She had just the right amount of fight in her to be able to match him and just the right amount of damsel in distress to build his ego up after the fiasco with Eden destroyed it.I loved how the author wasn't afraid to compare the two women. In books where there is a previous love interest, often that person gets maligned left and right to make the new love interest seem to be the best option, but that wasn't the case here. Eden was still touted as amazing and the savior of the resistance and even gorgeous, but there was no doubt in my mind, at the end of the novel, that Olivia was the perfect match for Jericho. That was a hard thing to accomplish but it happened. Kudos for that Higginson!There is a review that mentions that there was too much exposition about how beautiful the main characters were. I just have to mention - that isn't true at all. Rachel Higginson writes in first person. Thats just how she writes. When a book is written that way, there is a TON of internal dialogue. Which is a bonus, in my opinion, to writing in first person. But, while there is a ton of internal dialogue, I found it dealt a lot more with the problems of Terletov and how badly Jericho was torn between running away from Olivia and fighting to keep her. In fact, I'm don't really remember either of them waxing poetic about the other's looks except a couple of times.Anyway, pick this one up! And if you haven't been introduced to the Star-Crossed Series, this is your welcoming committee! Its one of my very favorite series :)
