I absolutely loved this sci-fi story.
If you're into Doctor Who, Star Trek, or epic adventures  - or all of the aforementioned - I'm quite sure that you will also enjoy this book.

The story is divided into 3 parts, and to me, the first part symbolises discovery. The second part is denial and reluctance, and the third part is acceptance. However, in the third part, Obi and Asha haven't yet fully realised what they'll have to sacrifice to reach their goal, and neither had I. 

The focus of this story isn't on the romantic relationship between Obi and Prince George or even the romance between Asha and ****, and I preferred actuall  preferred that for this part in their shared story. There's a lot going on, and I do think that the development that we do see is befitting their situation. 

I had theories while reading, but I had to throw them all in the bin. I was only right on one account. The events in the end left me feeling gutted in the best way. I'm excited to read the next book in this series.
