 Review:Okay, now that was an improvement in a book. 
 After those two previous excruciatingly terrible books, I was skeptical it was a good idea to pick this up. I had really really really low expectation that this book would be good. I didn't pick this book up immediately after the second book because I couldn't do that to myself. Let's just say I took a break. I had a decent time with other books and I was back with this one with only intention to finish it, let alone enjoy it. But it was different from the previous two and it entertained me. 
 I'm just going to admit that the writing was the same, it sucked. I did not like the wordings used because it was unable to pull me in; I was not really into the usage of long description of a certain place and other characters' stupidity. To me, that was unnecessary. There was romantic lines and lines and lines that were just too much to take, I wanted to gag (I rolled my eyes loads of times). Furthermore, I did not need that 10 pages for what happened in the end because everything was solved and all I needed was some light-hearted paragraphs. But before we got to that, there were some unreasonable scenes (which I think would be IMPOSSIBLE to happen, but that's what the book said so ok). 
 This is the part where I said this book was an improvement. It's the plot. What happened in this book felt like a sci-fi book, more fightings, actions, and killings, which I really liked. There were more involvements with technology and other stuff from the L'eihr planet. I wouldn't say it's a good sci-fi book, but it's getting there. Nevertheless, I thought that most of what Cara's squad was doing felt senseless and unreasonable, or should I say incredulous. Also, there was less cringe-worthy romances because whatever Cara and Aelyx were doing felt normal and more mature. 
 "The connection closed with Cara's eyes. "No matter how hard I try, sometimes it feels like I can't do anything right. Your opinion matters the most to me, so when you brought up my mistakes on the colony, it really stung."" 
 There was a major character improvement in the book. From the beginning, I've never actually liked Cara. She started out as an annoying person who was supposed to be brilliant. And now, she took her time to care for her planet and less of Aelyx. She improved to me more mature and less whiny. Regardless, I was also annoyed with whatever she wrote on her blog because it was more cringy than anything. Aelyx remained an asshole, but less of an asshole. He didn't support Cara and look at a reasonable way to solve things. I still don't like him as a character. I started to respect the romance between Cara and Aelyx even more now that they had less time together, but respected each other. 
 Overall: it's a decent book, I wouldn't read it again, but I understand the development. Though, I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, if you're talking about this book alone. But if you're talking about the whole trilogy, then I will suggest you keep your time and money for other books.
