Angel Martinez is awesome at world building, she nails the SF/F genre whether it is humorous or serious. I did not want to put the book down once I started reading it. It has social and ethical dilemmas, political intrigue, power struggles, miscommunication, deliberate misinformation to create discord and prejudice and inequality. It also has love, friendship, loyalty, equality and romance.Her characters are well developed and my heart broke for Aren more than once in the story. Nya is a character that I grew to love more gradually as his character grew in the book and Emma was delightful and grounded the story for me - she was like a link from the present time period to Aren's past. She is intelligent, loyal, humorous and kind.I am looking forward to more books in the ESTO Universe series.
