It was an interesting book, and a decent sequel. I never felt the main human romance was really believable or rooted in anything other than plot though. The interactions between the main female character and her alien companion were much deeper.
The politics were rather heavy handed, but the societal impacts were, sadly, quite well done. Humans would be a shit show of xenophobia and power...
grabs after first contact. And yes, there were those doing well by the aliens and showing the brighter side of humanity. Just not enough. Though, once again, probably accurate. It was kind of disheartening. I hope she can turn it around in the third book.
