Absolutely loved this novel, which reads like a Jane Austen novel set on dystopian space ships. This book kept my interest and was paced to keep the pages turning. I also appreciated the portrayal of a less-than-perfect hero and heroine who manage to find their way to each other despite stubbornness on both sides. Also, the secondary characters were interesting and had their own stories which intertwined with the main tale. While this book likely isn't for everyone, I thoroughly enjoyed it & hope the author writes more like this! (

Jane Austen's Persuasion in space! I had great fun following the characters and unraveling the mysteries! (

This was a cute retelling, didn't like it as much as Brightly Burning. (
