Spoiler free review** Recieved as an Arc and unfortunatly also didnt know this was part of a series. but after reading the book i would highly reccomend reading all books. i still really enjoyed this and plan to go back and read the other two books. its an alien based fantasy read, its got that real us and them theme that runs through that actually had me very invested, the world was fairly easy to follow considering i hadnt read the previous books. if you are interested in Alien fantasy i would highly reccomend this trilogy, i found that i was invested fairly early on and thought it was a really thought provoking read! 3.5 rounded up

I loved to read this book so much. I rated it 5 stars because it was that good! I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's really good.

I received an arc of this book not realising it was part of a series and
is in fact book 3 . Understanding the worldbuilding , the characters
and their place within the ever changing world you really need to
read the previous books
That being said I did manage to work my way through this compelling
story without too much difficulty .
The storyline of aliens reaching out to Earth is not new but the manner
of the message is different to the norm - putting a new slant on the idea
of "we are not alone "
It emphasises the problem of Governments who see enemies in anyone
who does not conform to their mantras , who will stoop to any level to
demonise those who do not agree with them , silencing them if they can
...... just so that they can retain their own personal powerbases .
I loved the idea of one separating from the whole , sacrificing themselves
to get a message out , asking for help "we are dying " - this is not something
humans as a species , with noble exceptions , would normally do ....... self
preservation being paramount , fear of the unknown and change can be a terrible thing
Having read this book in one long sitting and enjoying it so much I will be reading
the previous books to fully understand the backstory and look forward to the
next book in the series ............ I hope to meet these aliens who so far appear to be benign ??

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my e-arc!

love a good blend of science fiction, thriller, and magical realism. The book was fast paced which I enjoyed alongside being well written. Really good attention to detail with the character with a fab ending

I really enjoyed reading this book! I love a good blend of science fiction, thriller, and magical realism. This book had a really fast pace, and it was very well written. I loved the way that the characters were written, and how the book ended

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
