This is essentially the same story as told in The Last Colony, but from Zoë’s perspective. It’s much more of a Young Adult flavour of book, which is a nice change of pace in this fascinating series. It also allows the author to fill in a number of gaps so the whole story makes more sense. It also affords us a much deeper insight into the nature of the Obin, the aliens given consciousness by Zoë’s biological father, and their relationship with Zoë.

On to the next book. Yay.
