Wow. Read this book please.
I have to admit, I bought this book solely for the cover, I had an idea of what it was about but I hadn't actually read the synopsis until I got home from the bookstore. And let me tell you, the synopsis DOES NOT do it justice. From the synopsis it seems like an 'Outer Space Love Story' and that just makes me cringe, because the book is almost nothing like that. Yes, there is a love story behind it, but it rarely focuses on that aspect.
I was really worried that I wouldn't enjoy this book, because I knew if the other books in the series came out with the same sort of beautiful cover, I'd have to buy them, whether I liked them or not. Thankfully this book went above and beyond what I was expecting.
So I say again, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK.
