Wow did I not think I was going to like this when I started. It was heavy and grey feeling and the MC was a whiny beyatch.

And boy was I wrong.

I think the things I didn't like in the MC was the reason I needed to read this book. They're all the things we ALL have, will or are currently struggling with. Hopelessness, helplessness and just questions of self worth.

It felt so annoying because it hit so close to home for me. By the end I was a blubbering mess and also felt my near empty cup replenishing. Found that the mere hope of it being able to be replenished, was fuel enough.

As a strictly fiction, fantasy, romance, history, adventure loving reader, who loathes self-help, modern crime and realism type stuff, I would highly recommend.

I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe like an old Enid Blyton type story (which it kind of is).

The story, writing and characters were beautifully written and realised. It was so different from what I usually read (romantasy, historical fiction etc) but right up my alley.

In complete contrast to the MC who is very straight laced, the rest of the cast is quirky and also entirely worthy of a book of their own.

Literally a breath of fresh air

It kind of got boring after the first sexy time. I just wanted to know more about the planet, its pink trees and scary wildlife.

Also the barefoot and pregnant line and pairing off, meh, not for me.

The author's got talent and it wasn't bad, just not FOR ME.

However, I will not judge you unless you read CH books.
