I just finished this one, and it might just be my favorite read of 2023 so far!

I generally don't read much in this genre, but I downloaded the book during the free promo because I love Eryn's writing so much! And Eryn, as always, did not disappoint!

Ford's journey in prison made me go through a rollercoaster of emotions, including horror, disgust, awe, happiness, and much more. I love him as a character and loved seeing his growth throughout the short story. I am excited to see more of him in the series!

The warden was my second favorite character from the book, and I am intrigued to learn more about him. Hoping his book comes out soon so I can learn why he is the way he is.

The final scene had my emotions all over the place, and I have never been this invested in a book that is not romance. Props to Eryn for writing this masterpiece. It truly is a fantastic read that captivated me from the first chapter and left me wanting more by the end of the last page.

I am glad I chose to read this book despite it being out of my comfort area genre-wise. Excited for more books from Eryn. I highly recommend this one to all sci-fi lovers out there!E.M. McConnellThe Guard of Woestynn
