There are some double standards in these reviews. One reviewer called Vanessa “bitchy” because she keeps people at a distance, but when a male character acts the same way he’s called wounded and strong. I liked Vanessa’s character, she has a bit of a tough past, but she’s loyal, tenacious, and has a strong set of morals.
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.
