I do like Mal, though. He's everyday likeable. Props for having a tube driver job and not a super-power job or aspirations for such a career. So tired of that in books.

Meh, I don't care about their romance. Mal is wibbly-wobbly in his feelings; Jory is DEVOTED not really knowing Mal. I have no emotional connection with either. I spent more time being curious about Bran: will this stiff, stoic man get a story? And then the rest of the time thinking how much I liked Kristy, a woman in the story who was superb and real. Try a different Merrow book--she really can do up a great story!

I'm reading this in paperback; I loved the first book in this series, I love Merrow's style, so I asked my library to buy this book and they did. I'm sad to say that I'm not able to lose myself in this story. I'm not sure what Jory and Mal see in each other and the drama/conflict is low key and uninteresting. Really slow-paced and off-target conflict, easily dismissed.
