I liked Fejo’s smiling nature, but I didn’t like how pushy he was with Vanessa, especially sexually. A woman can be aroused and still say no, but Fejo took her arousal as consent despite her objections, and forced her to cuddle him while he was naked. That was really his only negative point, and Vanessa, after objecting, settled and enjoyed cuddling, but it left a sour taste.
This is the first book where the characters travel to other planets and we get to see space travel without the main characters as prisoners (though that happens, too). I liked Vanessa’s and Fejo’s story, and I wish we got more happy times with the couple together. The book focuses a lot on the plot, but we don’t get an epilogue I thought was warranted.

The general storyline is pretty exciting and interesting. Aveline mixes things up again by allowing us off planet! I do hope that the background plot of this gets expanded on later because it felt somewhat rushed at the end with everything that was fit into the last chapter and epilogue. I had some logistics questions at the end, though.
