Intergalactical detectives solving crimes such as murders, was a comfortingly familiar concept in sci-fi setting. The sci-fi aspects felt so natural I could even call it alternate reality. The story focuses a lot on the MCs, but does introduce the crime solving and police work to a satisfying degree.
I really loved the unique take on empathic abilities. It was written well, but I would have loved even more exploration on that. It was left slightly superficial. Similarly with the world-building. If this was a series, and the story would continue introducing more of the world and everything, then I would be more satisfied with this.
There were a few spelling mistakes which I found infuriating. But since this is independently published I understand she might not have had the chance to edit it properly. Nevertheless, the writing was exciting and kept me in its grip throughout the whole book.
Despite my small critiques, I truly wish this would end up being a series, because I want to read what happens afterwards. I want to read more about them being happy, and being themselves and doing what they are good at.
