Review: Nice love story with action and suspense; Great world building

My favorite part of this book was the clever world building. The author seemed to slip you into the world without you realizing you were being educated about the sci-fi world you were entering. That is difficult for most authors to do. No break was taken to inform you; you were just told the interesting story about Mari and David and the rest of the passengers on the Bard. I liked the teaser we get for the other characters because I truly want to read the next books in the Amasadora-verse series to get to know them better. I thought the idea that after enough time a caste system comes back into popularity. Everything is cyclical after all.The plot in and of itself wasn't that unique but the rich world descriptions, character backgrounds, class distinctions, and political battles were well worth my time. The price at $0 was more than worth it but I'm not sure I would have paid for the book prior to reading it. It is smart to keep it free because people like me will get hooked and pay for the rest of the series. I am already half way through the next book and it seems to just get better.
