When I heard about this book being released, I was very intrigued. I found the premise of a science fiction book based on the zodiac to be so interesting. Overall, there were a few high points in this story surrounded by low points. 
 This book felt broken up into three distinct parts. The beginning was engaging, but I found myself a little lost. Rho definitely has "special snowflake" syndrome. There is a back story regarding her abilities later on in the story, but it still wasn't enough for me to find what occurs with her throughout the story to be believable. 
 I had (and still have) a lot of hope for this world. There is a lot of world building in the book, because of all the different planets and worlds of the galaxy being so different, but at times it felt very info-dumpy. We get to see so many parts of this world, and I found myself getting confused at times, and just being given too much unneeded information. But the imagery we do get of the worlds is beautiful and very unique. I imagined this world in a beautiful CGI style. I will say that if this book included a map, that would be very helpful. 
 WARNING: Love triangle. There is a love triangle in this series that I do not feel is very well done. One love interest feels very much like insta-love (they have "known" each other for years but have never once spoken) and the other love interest is a kind of insta-lust (which is more bearable.) But overall, the love triangle aspect felt very unnecessary. 
 Given Rho's special snowflake nature that I mentioned before, I found it very hard to connect to the characters in this story. I felt that Rho made a lot of unrealistic decisions and jumped between feeling like a teenager and an old wise woman. There wasn't a ton of consistency or believability. I did very much enjoy one of the love interests, who reminds me of a Hans Solo type character (my favorite) and hope to see more of him in the future books. 
 The last 50 pages or so were a whirlwind, and made up for a lot of the book. Those last 50 pages are the reason I plan to continue on with the next books in the series. Some of the events that happened made me think there is a possibility of me enjoying the future of the series. There is a 50/50 chance at this point. I'm willing to take that chance, because of the originality of the world and plot.This review was originally posted on Thoughts on Tomes
