This book was an epic emotional roller-coaster that sucked you into the story and touched on so many deep topics in all their, sometimes gory, detail. This was not a cozy alian romance. This was raw and tragic, but SO good.

The first time I read this book, I dnf at around the 7% mark because I was cruising through sci-fi romance novels like it was a time job, and found this 1,000 page (!) way too slow. I set it down and forgot about it for around two years. However, after stumbling across it again, I decided to look at it not as an bubblegum and fun romance, and instead try and read as serious sci-if epic. And I'm so glad I did! Honestly, it's an amazing mediation on God, religion, soul connections, and good and evil. I know i'll be thinking about this book for a long time to come, and already know that's it the type of book and I will read again  and again. My one recommendations is to mind the content warnings, as this is NOT a light and easy book.
