"TWO MINDS. ONE BODY" this line was really well done and hooked me in on this book. And I'm glad I did as this book was a really well done read.

With thanks to P.L Sullivan and IBPA for an advanced readers copy of this book.

3 stars

I'll start by saying as a big fan of Sci-fi, i loved this concept and really wanted to love it.

Things I liked;
-Writing; Sullivan has a very relaxed and deliberate prose that is easy and enjoyable to read.
- The idea; the original idea of 2 women bound into one body is a really good concept. Something I've not seen again since Stephanie Meyer's "The Host".
- The morality; I love books with shades of grey, complex and multidimensional characters. So that was a big plus!

This I would have liked to see;
- World Building, this world if complex with competing planets and species. The explanation/execution of this is very hit and miss. I would have liked to spend more time just setting up the world. It would have helped to add tension if the reader could get emotional invested with the characters. However i spent a lot of time thinking "what is going on"
-The MC's; what would the point of making them bound? They don't interact in any special way. They just have conversations like every set of lead main characters. I was expecting a deeper level of communication, or maybe a really interesting ability that only they had.

I don't think I would continue with this series but I would read another Sullivan novel.
