As a romance, this is not my usual reading, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In the main this was because of Eno's excellent characterization. Every character was extremely well written, each with their skeletons, history, fears and dreams. I really cared about them and their interactions.The backdrop was well done, set upon a variety of planets, with an excellent archaeological mystery carrying the book forward. Just what is the Oracle and why are its artifacts found on several planets? I would have preferred more detail and tech aboard their transport spaceship, but what Eno describes is fine for the purpose of the book - it isn't about the ship. It all had a Firefly vibe to it, which was great for a Browncoat like me. :)Clean writing, great characters, a plot that makes you read on and no dull moments. You can't go wrong with this book, especially if you want a sci-fi romance.
