Good but flawed
I enjoyed this story and I'm glad I read it. The characters are likeable and interesting. The plot, for the most part, flows well. Two things stood out as serious flaws to me though.
Firstly, there are far too many grammar mistakes, occasional spelling mistakes and also errors in punctuation. I appreciate this book was originally posted online for free, and most people are able to brush past minor errors but, at least for me, it draws me out of the story and impacts on my enjoyment. I liked the story enough to continue regardless, which is not something i would normally do and speaks therefore of the sheer enjoyment I experienced from the plot.
The second flaw, which I believe I have seen other readers also highlight, is that a certain female character is initially teased as the primary romantic interest at the start of the book only to be sidelined for another love interest. This wouldn't be an issue if there were some closure for the first love interest who is presented as being particularly vulnerable and extremely likeable. However, ending the story with her plot thread unresolved robbed me of the catharsis I had hoped for.
If this book has been better edited, it would likely have been 5 stars. As it is, I can't justify more than four. Still worth checking out off you like alien romances.

This book has such a good story. I like the way characters are introduced and how they slowly fit into the story. Can't wait for more!
