Helpful Score: 9
Basics: Science Fiction Romance told in first person present tense (as other reviewers noted, that tense WORKED with this book). Sirantha Jax has the ability to navigate her ship through the galaxy utitlizing hyperspace jumps (grimspace). She has been framed for a crime she did not commit, she must grieve the lover she lost, she must stay a step ahead of those who hunt her, and despite all this, she makes friends, falls in love again, and... changes the world (this is FANTASY after all!)
Main Characters: Heroine: Sirantha Jax: VERY likable. Imperfect but good-hearted and honest; very good sense of humor; very competent and capable heroine. Liked the way she evolved throughout the book. Definitely not a stagnant character!
Hero: March: Strong, but not described as good looking; brave but practical (with a few exceptions); not a typical romance hero (alpha, but doesn't always or even OFTEN save the day); great sense of humor. REALLY likable guy!
Best About this Book: The characters were really well drawn, the dialogue between them was VERY entertaining, the world building was very good, the writing was descriptive and intense (NOT YA!). VERY funny dialogue between characters.
Worst About this Book: I was surprised not to see this mentioned before... this book dances on-- but doesn't quite cross-- into the realm of preachiness. There is a section where the author's views on abortion are VERY clear and at the end of the book there is such a strong endorsement of free- market capitalism that I could practically HEAR the National Anthem playing. Not necessarily a bad thing but I found it jarring... as if the author's agenda was spilling out and threatening BUT not ever ruining the story.
Summary: I really enjoyed this book. It is Definitely worth a credit, and I paid full price for the second book in the series "Wanderlust" although I have not read it yet, I have high hopes.
