Review
This is Young Adult Sci Fi set on a frontier planet in the far future with a girl-meets-treecat first contact theme.
The split view from human to alien and back was well handled, the action scenes are dramatic and pack an emotional punch and the whole thing is carried along by the excellent performance from Khristine Hyam.
The book kept my attention and some scenes were very powerful but I don't think it fully delivered as a novel. I felt as though I'd had the first three or four episodes of the first season of a promising show and then the thing had been taken off air.
Still, I enjoyed the read and I've bought book two to see where David Weber takes his ideas and his characters
