Alienated by Melissa Landers
2.0
adventurous emotional funny hopeful mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A touch predictable. Easy, enjoyable reading though. I didn't mind the world building except a particular medical detail stood way out. L'eirs apparently don't have a pulse point in their thumbs like humans do. The main alien kept measuring pulse at the neck with his thumb.

I know it's a fictional world. Still, every time I read that it yanked me right out of the story. It never gets explained either. 

Other than that no issues with it. Probably won't go chasing the next one down.
