Even non-human women need to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a man.

Interesting in so many ways but bored of the never ending waterfall of poorly written women characters who act as sacrificial props in science fiction.

I listened to this as an audiobook. Initially I was interested due to the weird start of this book, but wow it got boring. I found while listening I was so bored and uninterested in the scientific speak that I tuned out almost the whole book! I finished it just because I made it too far to turn back.
