There was a lot of rape and incest in this book! Like, a lot! I think you should probably know that ahead of time!
I dunno, man. It was okay. The telepathy part reminded me a lot of the Psy-Changling book I read (I did not like the Psy-Changling book). The space battles were interesting, as was the part about the main character teaching at the military academy and dealing with her PTSD. My book club clarified for me what we liked about the science and what we didn't: we liked the physics, but not the biology. The description of traveling faster than light was pretty cool, but all the genetics was somehow both boring and creepy.
