J'aime bien m'attarder dans un univers. Je suis donc retournée sur Rocheworld. Malgré les longues reprises du premier livre, j'ai bien aimé retrouvé les aliens amicaux *hello*hello*hello* et malins et en savoir un "tout petit" peu plus sur ce monde où les choses se passent plutôt bien.

Much better than the first book, humans are much more believable now (although still a bit "constructed") and aliens ever more interesting. Probably co-author's accomplishment.
Now I believe that instead of reading 155000 word version of the first book 60000 word one would've been preferable as just a foundation/preface for this second book.

I had hopes for this book, I really did. The first book left me feeling very let down, as if it suddenly just stopped. I was hoping that this one would have been a better continuation of that story, and was until I got to the end. Same problem as with the first book, stopped short with no closure.
