I actually did not have any expectations for this novel when I received this book. I was a bit reluctant to read it after the slew of horrible young adult novels I always seem to find. While it was not terrible, I was not impressed.

I like Balog's easy style. It did not leave anything to the imagination unless she wanted it to and I loved how she captured her character's personalities so vividly. That does not mean I necessarily liked her characters.

I was also annoyed by how easily Morgan seemed to drift away from Cam and towards Pip. It is not completely unheard of, but it just seemed..odd considering the circumstance.

The information presented in this book provides insight into the universe, the other beings that inhabit it, and our role as humans. The format is different from a regular book. These are compiled channeled conversations Tom had, mostly with a Sirian. As such some questions are covered more than once, often to ensure clarity since channeling can be unclear at times.

This book does not explain everything because we have no frame of reference for them. Nor are we allowed spoilers. But the information presented will leave plenty for your imagination to play with.

Read this book with an open mind for both the content and format and expand your wonder of the Universe.

Underwhelming
Honestly with the plot of the book they could have took it so much further. for one the characters just seemed so 2D and so I couldn't emphasise with them at all.
Thestart was promising but even then to much of what was happening was given away. Yes I know that a lot of authors use the technique of letting the reader know before the characters do but in this book it was just overused.
 It is a shame because the idea of the book was good and you can tell the author has the right imagination for it but they fail in implementing it at least in this case.
