I liked this one the most out of them all, but I think it's largely because the plotline of sexual abuse does not take a front seat role, and as a reader you get more depth into these characters and their motivations. I think by this point my favorite character is Rowan. She exudes all the characteristics of a hero, especially not seeing she is one. It's painful to see how broken the other characters are in their lives and I do think that is some pretty good writing to capture so much pain and them pushing through and then breaking down, but it does hurt my heart to see them suffer so.
One complaint I have is with the villain and I don't mean the one on "their" side, but the Russians themselves, just feel faceless and without much cause. I get their cause seems to be the same as Michaels, really, but without any storyline from them - they are just there and in the way of the "heroes". This is not uncommon in your hero stories, but that mold has been broken so well in the past by others, it would be nice to see that here - and I thought I was going to through a taking down of the Cardinal and such, but alas it seems we are not at such a point in the story.
I still feel strongly one should read Anarchy, and then this one - BEFORE reading Origin & Genesis.

These three novellas would have been great as a single book.
My main criticism of this work was that all of the books were way too short. All of them together would have made a great single novel, and would have been more coherent for the reader. The author has a talent for weaving a detailed picture with a minimum of words, but using that talent more patiently and weaving more story for each of the characters would have made this a modern classic instead of just a fun read.
