Book was all about loss, grief, transformation, family, love and fight for yourself and for your loved one. There was everything in bits but majority was tragedy. Lot of. It was like characters are trying get over one tragedy, become stable and happy, another one is waiting to strike and threaten to shatter everything again. This was the journey of characters from tragedy to love and happiness, their walk out of tunnel of darkness towards the light.
Warning- few characters were abused in the book that might be disturbing. I didn’t cry I like I usually do while reading India’s books. I was on the edge of crying but didn’t. So, it was milder, for me, than Serenity and Destiny.
India creates amazing crew. I loved Tucker’s group and their love for each other. Most of the story was centered on Maverick, Delilah and Tucker. Other characters in the book, and even parents and family of the crew had their solid imprints in the book. Mostly all characters were fighter and had important, major role. Main and my Favorite characters-
Maverick– lovely brother and fighter. Strong, wise, smart, sensitive and most chivalrous guy in the book. Delilah– smart, bookworm, and romantic but layered with timid, emotional and sensitive and hidden under her brother’s protective nature. Tucker– Delilah’s brother. Amazing friend, fierce when it comes to protecting his sister, reckless, and struggle in understanding his own emotion for Viola. He was exactly like Rocco in Serenity. Viola – vixen is perfect word and nickname for her. Strong, can fight for herself, rough, straightforward, loudmouth bitch, but she is more than that- empathetic, observer, brilliant counselor, and lovely friend. Without doubt she was my favorite character in the book. As I can relate with her. We both have our own mind.
