Fact: This book got me hooked from chapter 1. 
 Flasfall turned out to be an highly entertaining action packed novel. There were lots of "hold your breath" moments and I must admit that I never got bored...not ever once! Some action scenes were a bit confusing but still very enjoyable. I also found the book quite original (it is not like I read books about miners every day lol) with definitely some interesting elements. 
 The writing style was clear, detailed and flowed easily. The world-building wasn't bad at all, confusing at first it got better along the way. Some things could have been explained better (the conjies' bonding traditon too, I sort of get it but some further explanation wouldn't have hurt.) Let's say that there is room for improvement---overall I don't feel like complaining too much about it. 
 The characters were developed (at least those that lasted more than a couple of pages) and I appreciated everyone of them, if in different ways. 
 I loved Orion and her strength and will to fight for her dreams. Dram was....Hell, what can I say? He is such a cutie (but in a good way, definitely in a good way!) and He & Orion (nicknamed Ray) were a great pleasure to read. Besides their dark humor was just perfect and I loved,loved it. 
 The bad guys were bad enough, in fact I was really looking forward to see some of them dead...or badly hurt. Er...better dead. (I'd have throttled Cranny myself...) 
 If I'm to voice a complain I'd choose: 
 - Too many people dropping dead like flies! Really I'm usually all for blood and gore, doom & gloom but here...at some point I did not know if I was supposed to cry or to laugh. Besides I was very disappointed to see two interesting characters die (view spoiler)[ namely Len & Reeves (hide spoiler)]. I'm not sure if the author was just having a great penchant for death or if she just chose the easy way...(two main characters are surely more manageable than four and more...) 
 Still, I really liked the book. For once I didn't find the romance cheesy and/or awkward in fact it was all very pleasant. IT WAS LOVELY!! *sighs* And this is coming from a person really picky about love stories. Besides...no insta-love and no love triangle (not really) ...and this is not a drill!! I repeat: this is not a drill, people!! 
 The epilogue left me with a hopeful fuzzy feeling...this is to say, I adored it. 
 Would I recommend this book? Yes!! And I'll be reading the sequel, for sure!!
