This book is far outside my normal genre, but the cover was so gorgeous I had to give it a shot! I think fans of the genre will connect instantly with the characters and be very interested in the future of 'biology' in space. I think the romantic elements captured my interest, but the plethora of strange animal/alien/scientific jargon would be a lot for me to follow, so I'm not sure if this book is for me. However, I have plenty of friends who would be interested in this type of story, so I would recommend it to them!
