It took me awhile to get into this book. I'm not typically a sci-fi reader, but since it was free I thought I'd give it a try. At one point, about a third of the way through, I put it aside for something else, but then picked it up again. I'm glad I did. From about halfway to the end it was a great read. Maeve was a complex buy sympathetic enough character to keep me interested. I like the way the different threads were pulled together in the end.What didn't I like? The "bad guys" just kind of appeared about halfway through the book. You begin thinking the enemy is going to be one group, but they just get pushed to the background for another set and become a non-factor. It left me wondering why a big deal was made of them to begin with. Did I enjoy the book? Yes. Did I empathize with the main character? Yes. But did it leave at the end wondering where the antagonists came from? Yes.
