I was not a fan of this book. It has a lot of twists and turns... too many. It's very fractured and reads like a copy and paste from a group of other books and stories. It took me a long time to get into the book and even once I did, it was easy to put down, but hard to pick back up. ( )

Interesting story line but I had a hard time connecting to the characters in this book. Might have to try again at some point.

I thought this was a promising novel. The premise was great, but at times it felt a bit strung together. I guess this is Montoya's first novel and so maybe she's still learning the tricks of pacing and plotting. Also her style seems heavily influenced by YA writers, but the tone perhaps not. Despite this her work is original, her characterisation pretty decent, and I would definitely give her another chance because there was enough in this to show that she has a lot of potential. ( )

Very fast read. Suspenseful plot and interesting characters kept me turning pages. I would love to have more stories from this world. ( )

LibraryThing Early Reviewer copy.

I went back and forth, back and forth in my head about whether this should get three or four stars. If I could I would have settled on 3.5 but I think it did enough to warrant 4 stars.

I don’t have a lot of experience reading science fiction. Truthfully with my less-than-stellar memory for basically anything I read, I find it hard for science fiction to hook me in because of all the new words and characters being created. However, I really like this concept of long drawn-out days and nights and the different creatures that can and cannot live within them.

This book would have gotten a firm four stars from me if the setting would have stayed in a natural setting for the entire book. I really like the idea of a world that is very similar to ours yet completely different because of this interesting rotation of day/night. The ending felt a bit abrupt.

Although the characters didn’t have the depth to them where I felt as though they are my acquaintances, I liked how all the characters’ backgrounds wound together like an invasive vine.

The writing felt a bit clumsy for me at the beginning of the book but as the story unfolded, it read a lot smoother.

Although my review doesn’t seem like I am raving about this book, I did feel like I wanted to be reading it when I was doing other activities, a requirement for four-star reviews! It would make a fantastic movie.

The ‘About the Story’ at the end of the book was also lovely. ( )
