It isn't often this happens with m/m, but after this one book, I'm nominating this author to my short list of go-to writers.  Being the first book of Ms. Gala's that I've read, I need to try at least one more before affirming the nomination.  :-)The genre was narrowed further here to include sci-fi and light B&D;, but the writing was exceedingly well done.  The world-building and exploration and contrast of alien and human cultures was so strong and creative that honestly, Ursula LeGuin's work popped into my head part way through this book.  The comparison only went so far though, because Ms. Gala wrote a sexy book with some light kink, and it was pretty clear that she designed the alien culture with this in mind, but still.  Very rare to find a writer with such skill playing in this particular sandbox.I would have liked to see more of the early evolution of the primary relationship here, and the backstory of one of the MC's was a little choppy, but these were ultimately minor quibbles.  A pleasure to read such a well-edited book too.  There may have been one missing word, and perhaps one typo.  But that's it.  For a Kindle book in this genre, 5.99 felt steep, but by the book's end, I was perfectly okay with having paid that amount for work of this quality.
