What makes this book truely special is the world and its presentation - how you feel like your reading a fantasy book and suddenly you're on a space ship and totally taken aback by it. Or at least that's how I felt. For me, the book was full of little surprises, from worldbuilding details to where any of this was going. The characters worked less for me, though. There were interesting side characters but it took me some time to warm up to Moon and I never really got to care for Spark, despite the interesting situation he was in. The biggest problem is that the whole premise is built on the love these two share - and I didn't even like them together. It didn't feel like a deep connection and their expressions of "love" often made them seem very childish. I still enjoyed reading from both POV's. They balance each other out nicely.
