I think I lost interest somewhere in the middle for a short while as my week off started and I did things I've been wanting to do for a while but I jumped back in today and pretty much finished the last 45% in one sitting.
I'm liking the thing--well, romance, I'm assuming--between Neutral and Emmy, that could be interesting so I'm going to read book 4.5 next.
As for the rest of this one. We're getting more answers to the questions that have arisen over the last three books and the father of Willa is definitely an intriguing one if it is who was mentioned towards the end of this one.
Pica had me grinning like an idiot at the end. She LOVES everything! It was so funny to read the group's feelings towards her and her attitude to life.

I'll admit this started a little slow for me. It seemed very sci-fi for a while but then revelations were made and I started to get into the story. I was intrigued with how everything would play out with Ander and Katya and everyone else.
It plodded along quite happily, keeping me entertained and I was going to give it 3 stars because I had liked it. But then that last 10% or so knocked it up a full star because I was not expecting that! What a plot twist!
It has certainly left me wondering what's going to happen next--since I have been left with several unanswered questions--and I will be getting the second book in the series soon. Very good for a first book!
