This is one of the best books. There's a lot to read and I've read it twice.The protagonist Amber, her mother just died and in the dystopian future she lives in, there are a couple of choices:1. Take up her mother's career (the oldest profession in any world)2. Become a pioneer and populate a new worldShe decides on #2. A couple of problems though - there's a weight requirement and her sister who she parents doesn't want to go.Amber is a bit fluffy, but they make it on and end up in an unexpected world.The survivors meet up with one of the planet's inhabitants, Meoraq. Who takes care of them under umbrage. He's a high caste warrior, and gets a bit of culture shock meeting these strange soft beings.Meoraq and Amber bond - she learns their language, their ways and becomes the main communicator for her tribe of survivors.The species on this planet - Lizard-like humanoids. Not pretty, not sexy. But somehow things that should be eww (cross species badonkadonk) are touching, romantic and lovely.Do the survivors (including the sister Nicci) worship her? Get on their knees and thank her and Meoraq. Uuuh, nope.Think of Lord of the Flies meets....well meets something weird ass and romantic anyway.READ IT!! If my review didn't sell you, there are plenty of others that will!
