REVIEW:
There is a lot of potential in this story. Unfortunately, it was not developed. The introduction of information and flow of that information made me feel at times like I was starting it in chapter 3 or 4. I felt like I should know more about the ship and it’s passengers than I did.
The two main characters (one human, one alien) were likeable and seemed to be headed in the right direction. But just when the story seemed like it was moving where you wanted it to go, it abruptly ended. It felt like a tease to me. Why have one character solely focused on starting a relationship with the other and then end the story just as they started to interact romantically. I was disappointed.
