I finished this, which felt like more of an accomplishment than it ought to have. I've been struggling to get into most books lately, so it probably wasn't its fault, but I just really couldn't get into it. The one saving grace was reminding myself that Rhyn was somewhat like Mal.But insta-love and big assumptions about who the other is based on little to no evidence? So not for me. Nor is the Big Misunderstanding. And when space stories work for me, I love them, but that seems to be the exception. So I doubt I'd have loved this story even if I'd read it at another time. I really only finished it because it was for Bingo, otherwise it would probably have been a DNF (even as short as it was, which was, frankly, one of my favorite things about it. That, and the resemblance to Mal).
