While it certainly wasn't as good as some of the sci-fi romance I've read recently, it wasn't the worst either. However, the big problems were the plot (not too much there) and the weird vibe the book gave off. It was very much like the Ecolitan books, where the main characters seemed to be surrounded by a lot of white paper. Is it that they are just too cool? Do they not have enough inner conflict? I don't know, but it definitely is a problem. Since this was the first book, though, I'm willing to give it one more shot.
