Everything about the world and the people within is so deeply and matter-of-factly presented that you can’t help but be in AWE of what you’ve got in your hands. That’s also coming from someone who almost NEVER just buys a book to try it out. ABSOLUTELY worth it and I’m grateful that I did.\" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Reader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This book took me by surprise. It’s coherent clever the main characters are wonderful. Loved them both. They have their limitations that author is not afraid to explore and in return it works wonderfully for the story. In other words: loved it!\" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Reader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Fascinating. Everything within is so VIVID yet also stark and severe. This book offers so much more than ‘an alien conqueror romance’ trope title might lead you to believe. It tackles true issues wrought by a species that’s spent so long and lost so much that they’ve hit societal quicksand—aka a level of decay before a Fall—and they don’t even realise it. This is *boots on the ground* clash of civilisations. It’s dirty, it’s fraught, it’s sometimes terrifying, and it’s damn honest. I can only hope that you take the chance I did so you can enjoy being challenged by it too. Enjoy!\" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Reader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This was a surprisingly detailed story that just continued to shock me.
