I'm in love!
This is every ounce of thoughtfulness you could hope for out of any sci fi book. It's struggles with faith; questions about humanity; protecting your own versus lending a hand to others. Every single character in this book is a full person, flawed and unsure but so often trying their best. And no one brings that home better than the protagonists, Noemi and Abel. I'm a sucker for inhuman romances and enemies forced to work together, so I would have read this in any case; but there is such incredible character development behind their slowly changing dynamic.
It's not every day I find a book that is written with a true and obvious love for humanity and an understanding of how we mess up--but how we can make things better again.
