Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book. I got a copy of this on ebook through Amazon First Reads.

Thoughts: I really enjoyed this a ton. This is a well done contemporary fiction book that blends current events, thrilling adventure, and romance. I was hooked pretty much from page one and struggled to put this down. This is the first book I have read by Yarros and I plan on reading more.

When Izzy and Nate end up sitting next to each other on the plane they are strangers, they find each other attractive but realize it's a temporary meeting...then the plane goes down and Nate ends up saying Izzy's life. Events that day bring them close together and then tear them apart again. However, they keep running into each other as the years go on. Now it is time for the United States to withdraw from Afganistan. Nate is in special ops and Izzy is in politics as an aide to a senator. Nate knows he is going to be guarding a senator's aide but when he finds out it's Izzy he is stunned. Add into the mix the fact that Izzy's news-reporter sister has gone missing in a country that is rapidly falling to Taliban rule and you have a high stakes situation.

I loved the structure of this story. We alternate from past to present and then back to the past. As events occur in the present we are then given a chapter back in the past that relates to the present events somehow. I love this type of structure to a story and love how it unravels the mystery of the past even as you are living through the intense present actions.

Izzy and Nate are both amazing characters with a lot of depth to them. The chemistry between the two of them is super intense. They are strong people with defined goals and they need to decide what's more important their career dreams or each other.

I also loved the intensity of being in a war zone and also getting to learn more about the US withdrawal from Afganistan. I had read some about it in the news when it was happening but this book submerses you right in the middle of it and gives you a better idea of how unexpected and quickly things went wrong.

The writing was flawless. It was incredibly easy to read and moved at a fast pace. Parts of this book will leave you breathless. I thought it was very well-balanced; you have intriguing historical events, engaging characters, lots of action, and an incredibly well done romance.

My Summary (5/5): Overall I loved this and I was completely unprepared for how much I loved it. You have an intriguing time and setting, amazing characters, non-stop action, and a well done long-running romance. On their own none of these would have been all that unique but the way they were blended together made for an unstoppable story that I could not put down. I am excited to pick up Yarro's fantasy "Fourth Wing" to read soon.

Good beginning and ending. Main part is boring, very predictable. Brutal romantasy.

Es un libro perfecto para el desbloqueo lector, fácil de leer y de engancharse. Sin embargo, cuando terminas el libro y piensas su cualidad seriamente, te das cuenta que presenta clichés narrativos y personajes estereotipados. Y en ciertas ocasiones la narración es pobre, pues no sumerge al lector en la historia, ni tampoco hace sentir al lector lo que vive la protagonista.

I'm disappointed. The first half of this book was so repetitive and boring that I almost DNF-ed it. The second part was slightly better, but reading it was still more like a punishment than a pleasure. Not for me. I'm very sad, because I really liked the previous book in the series.
