The novel was a study of how humans can be self-serving while appearing self-sacrificing, while concurrently serving as a foil for the same theme for in an alien race. It was slow but it had great ideas. The big idea was strong enough to maintain tension throughout. Fairly strong characters, too. While I did enjoy the novel, I cannot really rate the novel very high because it simply didn't grab my heart. I have loved this author's work in the past, and I will continue to enjoy more, I'm certain. :)

I read a great deal of books with a great deal of range, but my primary loves are sci-fi and fantasy. Close runner-ups are traditional fiction, horror, and non-fiction. I'll be giving full reviews of each book as I read them.
