Closer to 3.5 stars. I liked it but I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. A diverse cast of characters and action-packed in space (a favorite setting), Shadow Run delivered on a lot of promises. It even had just the right amount of slow-build, will-they-won't-they romance BUT there was little too much info dump and long-winded explanations for me and took away from my time with the actual characters. All this being said, I did really enjoy it and I have a feeling the sequel may be even better.
