3.5 stars 
 This premise really impressed me - yes, there are aliens. No, they did not come to earth to conquer. 
 This story is the one where humans travelled to a distant planet to settle, and man did the resident aliens not like it. 
 Somehow, years and years later, some humans still live as Nomads in the desert. 
 I really felt for Eros, for me he was the gem of this book. He is a mix breed and not truly accepted by anyone. Some scenes really have my heart bleeding for him! Despite all this he is a really admirable guy who, at the end of the day, just wants to live. Whichever crappy way people will allow it. 
 I was not a major fan of Kora, at the start she seemed really strong but I sort of felt like she could have done more to be the ruler she wanted to be. Her situation is really unpleasant as well, but it didn't reach me as much. 
 The plot thickens a lot towards the end, so it's definitely worth pushing through! The ending left me very keen for the next book. 
 What did annoy me was how these two pine a little for each other, or rather the way they did it I guess. But they are teenagers so I shouldn't be surprised! 
 (view spoiler)[I loved that Eros pretty much told Kora to shove it after how she behaved after the desert, so unexpected and appreciated. Way to be strong! (hide spoiler)]
