4.0
So I loved the premise of this, and would have loved it if the bulk of the story had been about it. But the premise was only the beginning, and while I did enjoy it, it wasn't quite a five star read for me.
Characters: 8/10
While Alice was her own unique character, I found Luka to be less distinct. I loved that he had a different occupation and interests, but his actual personality wasn't especially distinctive. I still liked them both, though.
Atmosphere: 9/10
I really enjoyed the extra worldbuilding here! Seeing different housing, the forest, and different alien animals was great.
Writing: 8/10
The writing was still really solid.
Plot: 7/10
Disappointed that the premise - two people put together, don't speak the same language and have to become mates! - was only the start of the relationship. But it still had a good plot.
Intrigue: 6/10
Once they were together the stakes weren't really there. Yes there were other humans to rescue but this didn't have any emotional pull.
Logic: 8/10
Nothing majorly unlogical.
Entertainment: 8/10
I still had a good time reading this and will continue with the series.
Total rating: 7.71/10
