Format:Paperback
This was a great first contact novel. It was especially good since a Human becomes an inadvertant ambassador for our race, and is reliant on making her relationship work for her survival. I was really glad the next book in the series was available as soon as I finished this book, so I could continue to read on. I can't wait for the 3rd book.
Format:Paperback
Wonderful story, colorful descriptions that bring me into a new and rich world. Half way through this book I realized that I was reading a receipe on the potential: for healing ones self and others, for combining beingness across self-boundaries while maintaining the integrity of self. All this while enjoying a wellspun story.
