BOOK REVIEW:
Bidwell creates scenes that are palpable and intriguing. She vividly describes the tensions and conflicts between the characters, and she goes on to create a universe with much thought and creativity.

Axel, with his almost antagonistic personality traits, and Snake, with his shy demeanor, makes delicious moments come to life lucidly. And the introduction of Sela is a good twist. These three build the story quite well.

I enjoyed the book a lot. There are parts that could have enjoyed more elucidation, particularly the development and explanation of certain character profiles. Some scenes are good enough to almost taste, whereas others are left a bit unexplained. Axel’s imprisonment could enjoy a bit more elucidation, because even though it does explain some of his development, I felt that it lacks a bit of feeling, and the subsequent chapters don’t reflect the impact of this on him and his relationships ...

Overall, this is a good book. There are no obstacles in reading, as there is a good flow of chapter to chapter. It could be the basis of a series, as I believe the dynamics present offer opportunities for many more stories. A good read, and worth checking out!
