I literally loved this book! I am thankful that Dixon wrote this weird, imaginative story, because it was so unique compared to other novels I have read, and I appreciate anyone who has a fun, uncommon idea then brings it to life to share with others. I adored how much Vektal cared for Georgie from the moment he saw her, never mistreating, minimizing, or invalidating her, and I thought his matter-of-fact personality was amusing. I thought so highly of Georgie, who fought for herself and her fellow captives, braved a new world to save everyone, then still opted to side with the group should they want to leave, even if it meant saying goodbye to Vektal. Diverse aliens, new planets, and unbelievable odds, this book kept me intrigued, entertained, and amazed. I rushed out to get the second installment as soon as I finished the first!
