First I would like to say thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers and the publisher EDGE-lite for the free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book! The story hooked me right away with the intense prologue. The idea of a genetically modified species clashing with humanity was done really well.
The characters were interesting, and the main character's cultural background was something I hadn't read before and was fascinating. There were also some great connections between characters from the past to characters in the present.
I did have a few cons though. The first few are small qualms, such as the love interest was obvious but it wasn't done poorly and that the opinions of the passengers of the main ship weren't explored well and I would have liked to see more of them.
My biggest qualm is that the name of a planet was given the same name by the humans and the other creatures yet they had no contact to have come up with a name together. I feel that the planet would have been given two different names by the two different creature types. It seemed off that they both called it by the same name, yet for the humans the name was chosen on the spot.
Overall the story was intriguing and hooked me from the start, even with the few qualms I had with it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes SciFi orFantasy and I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Well done. A creative, inviting world has been imagined by the author that comes to life with realistic relationships among the central characters.
