I went into Refract excited after discovering it through the author’s social media, and overall, I enjoyed it! The story is packed with incredible detail, which makes the world and characters come alive, but at times, the length felt a bit overwhelming. If you’re not a fan of highly detailed writing, this might not be the book for you.
The ending left me a little conflicted—it transitions into being a prequel, which I didn’t expect. While I’m intrigued, I’m also feeling a bit lost and will need to wait and see where the series goes next. This story does end on a cliffhanger so just be ready!
One of my favorite moments was the reveal that Caspian and Ronin are half-brothers. It added such a shocking twist to the story and deepened the connections between the characters.
One moment that stood out to me was the description of Raven’s outfit for the Mission of Free Will. I would love to see that brought to life—her look sounds absolutely stunning!
Overall, Refract is a long, detailed read with a lot to offer if you enjoy immersive storytelling. Solid book—just be ready to dive deep!
