One of the books responsible for getting me back into reading after being in a reading slump for about 10 years. I don't normally even like a sci-fi space setting, but I found the world building easy enough to slip into and understand, I liked the political intrigue, I enjoyed our main characters and several of the side characters, and I really enjoyed the arranged marriage romance. I thought the writing quality was excellent, which felt like icing on the cake since the characters and plot were captivating enough for me.
