Interesting Premise
Hemphill writes a good story with Viridis. I enjoyed reading about the characters, and how the story unfolded. However, I felt there were details that could be more specific, and the story was more "tell" than "show". The first chapter lays the groundwork for what is to come, and presents Hemphill's writing style. I came to like Jade, but it took a little while, same for her friend Aris. It's an interesting premise, and journey, more like fight of life and death. I do look forward to reading more by this author.
