As with Wake, this installment seemed to return to the overly simplistic writing style. It skipped over conversations and occurrences that felt like they needed to be explored. For this reason, I'm giving it 3 stars. 
 I did enjoy the story as a whole, but it was a bit too shallow for me. The third person narrative really didn't work well in my opinion. It felt like I wanted to connect more, but the POV tense really kept me at an arms length. I wanted to feel more there with Janie and Cable. 
 Also, this installment was really sparse on the romance. I was hoping for more. 
 Even with these complaints, I enjoyed the read. It was quick and easy.
