I was first drawn to Catherine's books by Saucony, first in short story, then the duology concerning her, & finally the Ruby Dice and this book. So far all were pretty good.... But this one falls short of those others. Several problems with the plot, but I don't want to go into spoilers. We'll see how the next goes...
Sci-fi romance. Off the top of my head, it's the only attempt I've heard of to make the Mayan culture relevant in a star spanning civilization. Not bad, just not me. If it's your thing, you'll likely like it a lot. I checked out a couple of reviews before I wrote this one, it's interesting that this one does seem to skew along gender lines in my limited checking.
