In a universe teetering on the brink of chaos, Kady never imagined her day would take such a drastic turn. After a messy breakup with her boyfriend Ezra, her life quickly spirals into turmoil as a mysterious attack on their home planet forces them into a desperate escape. Suddenly, Kady finds herself embroiled in a fierce interstellar conflict that stretches far beyond personal heartache.

As she navigates a series of perilous challenges aboard a fleet of starships, Kady showcases her resourcefulness and intelligence. Utilizing her hacking skills, she delves into secret communications and uncovers unsettling truths about their enemies and the very nature of the war itself. Meanwhile, the relationship between Kady and Ezra becomes a poignant thread against the backdrop of battle, complicating their survival as emotions run high and tensions rise.

Amidst the chaos, readers are drawn into a gripping tale of survival, loyalty, and the complexities of love in a high-stakes setting. Kady’s quest for answers intertwines with her struggles with heartbreak and hope, painting a vivid picture of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

Quando ho iniziato a leggere non sapevo cosa aspettarmi. Da una parte perché è il primo libro di fantascienza che leggo, dall'altra parte perchè è scritto in maniera molto particolare. Infatti la storia viene raccontata attraverso chat, documenti, immagini, diari personali, file. La storia mi ha preso fin da subito e la lettura è stata molto scorrevole, veloce. Il finale mi ha molto incuriosito. Infatti c'è già il secondo libro che mi sta aspettando

3.5 stars“Am I not merciful?”It was such a rollercoaster ride, I quite enjoyed reading this book. The format of the book is so interesting and ties in really well with the plot. At times, it was a bit repetitive and the start was actually really slow. I liked Kady's sarcastic and humorous personality, but I didn't like Ezra as much as I liked Kady. The secondary characters were really interesting as well. The romance between Kady and Ezra was ok, sometimes I just didn't even give a shit about their romance at all. Overall, it was a really refreshing, unique and fun book to read.
