The End,

Well, I have to say I enjoyed the rest of this book, it was able to draw me into it to wonder what was going on with every single one of the characters, after I figured out that Gregor and Matt were distant relatives it was also much more enjoyable.

I actually found myself rooting for Gregor and Elizabeth, which is not something I usually do, since the romance is sort of secondary to me usually; this time I was able to follow it. One thing I still don't really get is how the Krakens piloted the spaceships? Would anyone care to explain? I mean the picture on the cover seems sort of interesting but that was a bit confusing for me.

The whole political issue was true to life in my opinion, the Commies vs. Yanks is a sad but true reality even in that future. I also liked the quiet tension that build up while Salasso was in trouble; it was almost too civilized for saurs, I almost expected to see some fighting, but it would have gone against their own quiet nature, even so I appreciated that the author also had them insulting humans, they're not perfect after all.

I would actually like to know more of what happened in Matt's life and it would have been nice to see how they actually managed to survive after the jump; regardless, I enjoyed the book better than the first hundred pages, I am not sure what that translates to, if it's "hey the beginning sucked but the end was decent" or something along those lines, I think the first third was bad but the other two-thirds made up for it.

And those are my opinions, it's not Ender's Game or The Foundation, but it was new and I like reading new things :D.
