I've read three books in the series and now I experience some different feelings. In some way I liked the series, it had points that kept me hooked, but not quite long enough. So now I have a dilemma: to read or not to read further. I have to admit, Ann Aguirre writes well. The plot in this book is quite good, attractive and quite action packed (maybe less than I expected after reading the first book). This "quite" is killing me! But I can't escape it because this book is quite good. 
 At first I want to mention Constance, it was awesome to read about her development and laugh from her jokes. She is a real help to Jax and I just can't talk about her as a thing. <3*sending love to Constance*<3 Also I really liked Vel. He was a star in this book and his relationship with Jax was a true example of friendship and tolerance. He clearly showed that the most important thing is what we are inside. I have a strange feeling that Vel is going to push March aside, because there is more attention to him and his relationship to Jax, than to March. 
 Now the fun part! At first take precautions. Some asteroids coming this way. 
 I had some untasty things with this book. Some were bigger, to hit my reading enjoyment, some smaller to skip without real damage. The romance in this book goes to some desperate self-pity level and the doses are quite big, so it spoiled the true taste for the half of the book to me. I've never enjoyed the melodrama. Jax spends a lot of time thinking about how to help March and how great the damage to him is. And here we go, she succeeds in helping him, all too smooth and quick, in a one sneak peak to his inner self. 
 I liked how Ann Aguirre presented the Ithtorians in the book. 
 They seemed so bossy and cruel in their behavior with others, who are not like them, while they were so silly with their emotional chill and lack of understanding. Not forgetting that the Ithtorians are true lethal killers. 
 It's a pity that the Ithtorians couldn't change appearance like Vel. I think it could have added some fun and interest to the story. It was an interesting move to settle them in beautiful architecture and lots of flora, with some spices of poetry, expressing their attitude through so called "wa". 
 I missed some of the characters: Doc, Hit, and Dina, who can rock the floor. Ands it's a pity that they didn't quite do that. I know that they were there, but they had no such fun as earlier. 
 Also some parts of the story made me impatient and annoyed, because I guessed what Jax and other characters would do or how the situation will enroll. And I just prayed sometimes: "Oh, please make it the other way, it would be more interesting for this and not that person to be the enemy(the real culprit), let the enemies be more cruel and clever (the escape from the mines) and etc." So I experienced a lack of awesome plot twists. 
 But nobody's perfect and as I mentioned before - this book has something inside, that just hooked me up, not fully, but definitely slightly.
