I really loved this book. My only real complaint is that I wish the main character had more friendships/connections. I think some beautiful friendships/relationships were starting to build in the second half, but I would have loved to see that get more development. I would anticipate that the next book (Saga of Viera Chapter 2) which has been "announced as in the works" will give more time for the relationships to be built and explored. I am looking forward to that!
