I really liked the two characters in this story and the world that Kari Gregg built. However, I didn't completely buy the "love" story. Micah had never been free and, psychologically, I am not sure she convinced me that he was mentally capable of having a relationship. I think that this would have been a great first 70 pages of a 300 page novel because there was so much potential for these two. So I am giving it 3.5 stars rounded to 3 for goodreads.
