If you’re looking for a fast paced true sci-fi novel, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a romance novel, with just a dollop of sci-fi and a slow  burn of action, you’ve found the right book.

I found some the vocabulary in the dialogue to be a little pretentious. It left me wondering, “am I a stupid American or do other people really have conversations like that?” I had a browser for Google always on standby to lookup some of the words.

I have given up on books before and I didn’t on this. That’s why it got a 3.
