Half a book I enjoyed the characters and the overall setting. However, I was very disappointed at the cliffhanger ending. It feels like a cheat.

Quotes by Karina Lumbert Fabian (?)

“Deryl, we all make mistakes; we all get twisted in some way or another. Some of us do horrifying, evil things. But that doesn’t make us evil, and yanking out a chunk of your personality isn’t going to make you good. It just makes you incomplete.”
― Karina L. Fabian, Mind Over All

“Is it not enough that species after species on this earth fades into extinction at a rate of one per minute?" I did some math. "That means every species on your planet would be extinct in ninety-six years. When did you start counting?”
