I really loved this book it barely ever slowed down the pace was mostly break neck the whole way through. I really liked the characters especially Zara and Nadim the ship that is Zara was a very interesting a complex character who has survived many things and Nadim was a gentle and very compelling character to read about . I am actually glad there was no romance just the really interesting relationship between a sentient ship and a girl. I really liked the story the pacing was so good it was mostly really fast paced from start to finish it did give time to learn about the characters and everything to do with that. I liked how Zara at first saw the Honors thing as a way to escape a dangerous situation and quickly began to bond with and really care for the ship Nadim that she would do anything for him. They learned all kinds of things and have escaped I am so looking forward to reading the sequel soon.
