DNF just can't get into it. tried twice and just don't want to try a 3rd time.
3.75 stars! This was a super quick, action-packed space adventure which I absolutely loved. Noemi and Abel are both great, well-developed characters, and I SO appreciate the fact that their romance is not rushed. They’re both mature and respectful of one another’s feelings and goals. I really felt for both of them.
My biggest complaint about this is the lack of development of the side characters. Losing Esther at the beginning of the story didn’t have much of an emotional impact because I didn’t have time to get to know her, and though she is offhandedly mentioned once or twice more as Noemi grieves, I still felt like she was nothing more than a plot device. I loved Virgina; I wanted more of her though. Abel and Noemi bounced around the universe meeting these people and making connections, and I wish those relationships had more time to develop. Everything happened very quickly since the story never stayed in one place for very long. I’m hoping in future books we will get to know the side characters a bit more and delve into Noemi’s life on Genesis! I want to learn more about what she’s really fighting for.

This book is beautiful! The relationship that grows between Abel and Naomi is so much fun to follow, especially in duel perspective. Watching abel grow and discover new aspects of himself he never knew existed, is an absolutely amazing journey. Can't wait til the next book!
Really enjoyed the storytelling. Looking forward to getting my hands on the next book.
