Although short, this book accomplishes a lot. Despite being older SciFi, I don't think I have come across anything like it before. (Since I'm mentioning its older SciFi, it's surprisingly free of misogyny! Jason does make some questionable remarks but Pyrrus is surprisingly equal and we get a relatively strong female character in Meta. Maybe there are still some stereotypes woven in and maybe she asks too many questions but it's a lot for its time. Maybe not quite what we'd expect in modern times but hey, at least she is there for more than sex appeal). As a biologist I'm very interested in Pyrran life and how it evolved. I'd love the opportunity to study such a unique system. I'm planning on picking up the next book soon and hope we get to see some more of it. Maybe the characters and writing/events are a bit simplistic at times but it was a fun read!… (mais)
