There are quite some plot twists.
Just when I thought I knew what was going on, it turned out to be something else...
The plot has a very interesting structure.
It's cool!

Wow. Just wow.

This story is PHENOMENAL!

The worldbuilding, the characters, THE PLOT TWISTS. Top tier.

It has everything a good sci-fi story needs and more.

At some point I had to put the book down for a second - I was left staring blankly at the ceiling, trying to comprehend what had just happened and I'm telling you, I was so shocked. But in a good way. In the BEST way!

It is more than just a romance in space, much more. It's a thrilling and exciting story that you simply can't put down. 

Brilliant. I really loved it.

I really enjoyed this book. Much more than o thought I would. In the first several pages I wasn’t too sure but I got hooked quickly and found myself so curious about the mystery unfolding. As with most YA, the romance development was kind of erratic and unlikely though throughout the book, things start making more sense. At times, hard to follow descriptions. Given this is a science fiction, there’s times when the environment just isn’t easy to imagine and the verbiage is confusing but the story is fantastic and keep you wanting to find out more.
