Well I loved it... truly loved it! Claudia Gray did not disappoint! 
 I love the forward thinking of this storyline, where humans have ran planet Earth so dry, that we've had to look to the stars in order to continue to thrive as a species. I think it's even a cooler idea that once humans have been able to find and colonize different planets, with their unique sense of beauty, they continue their quest to search for the a more Earth-like world to call home. 
 That's where Genesis comes into play, a planet with ideal living conditions, so similar to earth with its oceans, land masses and even breathable air. Humans have found a second home! A place where those previously bound to a world that was slowly coming to an end can now expand their horizons. Or have they? 
 Fast forward 30 years or so, and the real story begins! Civil war among (view spoiler)[humans has broken out over the preservation of Genesis supported by the early colonizers who don't want to see Earth's history repeat itself. Noemi is a young Genesis fighter, committed to the cause of keeping their world safe from those who wish to do them harm - humans from planet earth! I mean how is is that!? It's not your typical fight between humans and aliens ... it's us vs well, us!! (hide spoiler)] 
 And then everything starts getting even better ... in an twists of unforeseeable events, Noemi is thrown into Abel's world, one that has been suspended in time since the Civil war between (view spoiler)[Earth and Genesis (hide spoiler)] started. But Abel is not like anybody else Noemi has ever met, he's so much more. He's the enemy - he's a Mech, programmed to kill everything she stands for... and yet, he is bound to her like no other has ever been. He will fight for her, keep her safe at any costs, he's a friendly? 
 Noemi see's her opportunity to make a real difference in all this fighting. With Abel's help (even if against his own true will), she can end this war! 
 At the same time, Abel struggles with his programing which is now telling him to follow Noemi's orders, to keep her safe at all costs. He's a Mech after all - bound to his programing and logic, even if it means to put his own valuable life at risk. But even Abel sees the contradiction, there must be some errors to his programe, he doesn't have a "real" life. And yet Noemi has the capacity to show him much more than he ever expected - kindness, friendship, loyalty, possibly even love. Let me just say ... O.M.G. the torture! SO FREAKIN' AMAZING! 
 Together, Noemi and Abel go on an adventure of a lifetime - two unlikely beings thrown together by circumstance, who run against the clock to save countless of lives. The boundaries of their beliefs are tested each day, and together they defy not only the stars, but themselves! 
 The premise is great, the characters are amazing, and the growth they each experience thanks to each other is so sweet and beautifully written. 
 I can't ... I just can't!
