This book dragged a bit at the start of me (and I have to admit — I'm not the biggest sci-fi person) but the last quarter really turned it around for me and I'm probably going to read the next one!

I'm never usually a 'love at first sight' kind of reader, but this was combined with such a heady mix of star-crossed lovers and enemies-to-lovers that I think my entire brain chemistry has been rewritten.
