This story wasn’t so much a romance as it was a woman finding her way on a strange planet. I found myself enamored with the world, Planet Zero. Addie was such a balanced character who showed compassion and bravery while also being fragile and realistically only capable of so much. I was, however, thrown off by the modern English colloquialisms used by primitive aliens. This was actually really annoying and would take me out of the story every time one of the tribes-people spoke like they were in a contemporary novel. Other than that I enjoyed the pacing of the story and the gritty representation of humanity alone (but not really) navigating an alien planet with alien customs.
