I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it. I thought Menon's take on B&B was quite original, and I liked the tremendous growth both Grey and Jaya experienced. I was fond of how fiercely Jaya cared for her family and how she was willing to forgo her own desires to protect them. Maybe it was the pacing or the subplots that didn't quite work for me. I will say it ended on a strong note, and I will most likely check out the next book.
