Testing Pandora is a decent prequel. Great proof of concept while having a controlled focus. I don't know if it could stand on its own, but I intentionally bought all three books in the series so that won't be a problem.

Xandri is fantastic representation in a number of ways and I look forward to her further adventures. In truth, I was drawn to the series because the third book has space whales. This book does have space rays, like manta rays, and I was appreciative of that.
