dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Unique/original premise. At the heart of it, it is a love story, but you must wade through alien races, complex politics, and rather disgusting behaviors to get there. While the narrator was excellent at voices, I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I read it.
