Daybreak Sentinel

Daybreak Sentinel
by Kendra Merit

Anikka has survived Daybreak. The planet’s greatest threat won’t destroy her. She’s made a good home for herself.

But thousands of colonists sleep, trapped. She has less than three months to rescue them, or she’ll be alone forever. Oh, and Daybreak isn’t done threatening her. Sure, the storms won’t destroy her, but there are bigger beasts to come.

This completes the Daybreak duology by Kendra Merritt. I reviewed book one and loved it. That didn’t surprise me. I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Merritt.

Book two takes everything that was great in book one and amped it up. Survival fiction? Bigger threats! Annika learning the need to trust? Even more!

One of the odder choices in book one was the mention of Anikka being asexual. It didn’t factor into the story at all there. I do appreciate some ace representation, as romance is the default in most stories, but book one pretty much had Anikka as the lone character, so it didn’t matter! Well, her asexuality does factor into this book in some really neat ways!

The stakes amp up throughout the book. Because things never sit still for long, the novel is a fast read! You won’t be bored!

The only downside was that I didn’t remember well how book one ended; I would have appreciated a short “previously on” section – just a page, maybe two, to remind me how things concluded before.

I highly recommend this entire series. Devour it quickly!
