Great romantic sci fi adventure
But the beginning is violent, grim, and tragic. I'm not sure why the book has low ratings. There is graphic violence, but all the books in this series are violent to some degree. There is graphic sex, but, again, all the books in the series have graphic sex. Jaxx is a great character; a soldier who has become a scholar is definitely fascinating. The story is well-written and thrilling with a good HEA.
