Diana is restless and feels she may be losing her mind, until she's given a goal to recover her deceased father's memory bank. She makes a reckless deal to gain the access she needs, and is forced to be chaperoned by a highly dangerous man who fought her in the war and holds a deep grudge. Her parents have many secrets, and Diana is only just beginning to discover what has been hidden from everyone.

I had a fun time reading, but it did end on a cliffhanger so even though this book isn't technically out yet, I'm already mad that there isn't a next book out either.
Given this is the first book of a sci-fi/fantasy series, there is a lot of world building and info dumping in this book, particularly in the beginning. I did choose to forge ahead when I didn't really understand what was happening, and eventually it started making sense. So, it was a bit confusing in an expected way, but definitely not atrociously so.
I'm not personally very drawn to the unreliable narrator type of MC/POV, but Diana's voice was not too bad. That said, I wasn't too invested in any of the major characters, which made me wonder at times if I would DNF. The pacing was propulsive though, so I kept going because I wanted to know what was going on and what would happen next.
I found the world really interesting and the story fun, I want to know what happens in the next book(s).
