My feelings on this are mixed but overall I definetly didnt dislike it. If anything the overall take on humanity is notably VERY optimistic which was interesting to see, and it felt very pro-woman, with the female characters taking on as much of wide variety of roles as the guys while still feeling like people, which I can definetly appreciate and is the case in much less scifi books than one might hope. To be honest I didn't care much for the main romance (I guess alien dudes just aren't my type) however I found Kris a very likeable protagonist and seeing her continue to show up for Patti despite what she would think in her internal monologue is something I can genuinely admire. I won't particularly be rushing to read any of the sequels soon but defo do read this if it seems like something you would like :)
