Heather Choate was born in Littleton, Colorado. She now lives in a small town in Southern Colorado on a farm with her husband and five children. She chases chickens, declares war on the weeds in her garden and enjoys quietly people-watching. Most of her time is spent daydreaming of worlds and people that don’t actually exist, but reflect the beauty and complicity of humanity. Writing is her escape from diaper changes and runny noses but motherhood is the greatest journey and joy of her life.
It’s a shame such a promising series ends in such a rushed manner, the world building is superb the universe keeps getting bigger and bigger, the characters are complex and show promising personal growth and development..... yet it ends with no resolution, not even a cliffhanger.... I would definitely read a continuation of Cat’s story, but as it stands I feel a bit disappointed.
