I loved this book. The characters were just wonderful (my favorite was Fu - I laughed right out loud at his description!), the world & spaceship descriptions were beautiful without too much detail, which is a big thing for me. I can forgive misplaced commas (there were several dozen at least) and misused or missing apostrophes (lots of these, too), but I abhor over-bearing descriptions of things.There was just one thing that bothered me - the fact that these foreigners could stop a planetary war on pretty much just their word was a little bit too unbelievable to me. And I'm one of the first people to pish-posh people who say "...if you can suspend belief, this story is *insert here*..." Of course you have to suspend your belief! You're reading fiction! And this is Science Fiction, at that! Which is why the book still gets five stars from me.This story idea seemed very fresh to me and I loved learning about the ships and weapons. It's really kind of a neat space opera without being an actual space opera. Sure, there is a space battle, but the story is more about these beings becoming friends and learning a new way of life due to terrible circumstances. I highly recommend it!
