3.5 stars 
 An intricate plot with faceless villains hanging over our heads, a feisty female lead and a stoic hero. Great character depth. 
 This book was fast paced and action packed with great detail. 
 There was an angsty forbidden romance that kept things interesting but didn't detract from the plot. 
 The ending was a little too predictable but it was a good book that I would definitely recommend to science fiction fans!
