Review: Too drawn out - annoying female lead
Rating: 2 out of 5

Like several others who have rated this story below a 3, I found the main female character, Liv, to be increasingly annoying as the story wore on. Yes, I understood her dismay at being taken from her life with no say, but Baird was beyond patient and loving to her. It got tiresome - the love scenes that she would take so far, then call out "No"! By the third week, I was actually wanting Baird to send her back and say enough. Liv was whiny, belligerent, and downright selfish - she was unable to see any viewpoint but her own. In addition, she was supposed to be smart, but she was beyond stupid to leave their quarters when Baird had to be gone, then to use the communication device when she knew she wasn't supposed to.I wish there would have been some actual communication between them instead of all the sex. Baird was supposed to know her because of the mind-sharing, but if that were true, he should have suggested she work in the medical bay on the ship. And gone before the council to allow her to see her sister more often. Too many inconsistencies in what could have been a good story.The saving grace of this story was the descriptions of the alien vessel and all of the different things on board. That part at least kept my interest...too bad the rest of the story couldn't as well.
