Fue una muy grata sorpresa leer este libro, es súper tierno, entretenido. Si quieres pasarla bien y no tener drama innecesario léelo. No creo que sea un libro wow, pero me sentí tan bien leyéndolo, me sentí muy protegida y el romance fue muy bello.
Creo que lo que más me tomó de sorpresa es cuanto se habla de la colonización y la esclavitud, y creo que se toca bien el tema y eso es lo que creo el conflicto y trama del libro. No drama innecesario de la relación entre los protagonistas.
El romance me pareció muy bueno, siento que de verdad se empezaron a hacer amigos, solo me hubiera gustado más tiempo con ellos al final. Porque si hay algo que criticarle al libro es el final tan abrupto y repentino, sentí que la solución del co felicito fue tan x y no trajo un final interesante.
Pero ante todo, me la pase muy bien leyendo este libro.

I wasn't expecting so much story and farming details from an alien romance. Which wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. I would have preferred more focus on the romance, which was super sweet. No big miscommunication or misunderstandings, I liked having two earnest and honest heroes who wanted to make the relationship to work.
The colonialism vibe is strong though. A white human coming to save the underdeveloped aliens, this will probably be repeated in the rest of the series. The point of the Prime Mating Agency is to match mates to Prime planets, planets whose inhabitants have some intelligence but who haven't yet the technology for space travel. So each book will be about a woman coming to a "wild" world, bring with her new technology. But on the other side, she has to integrate herself to this new world, the goal is not to convert a whole species to a new way of life.
The ending was underwhelming. A good part of the story was focused on the issues of the lizard people, and its conclusion was no more than a footnote. One or two extra chapters would have been nice. Or focus more on the romance and the heroine adapting to her new planet. The book is half romance, half sci-fi, but doesn't have the space to explore both in a satisfying way.

Slavery is not current, but the lizard aliens are dealing with the generational trauma of previous enslavement and it is discussed in depthruthiedr89's review
