Smashwords book reviews by M. Darusha Wehm

I don't read a lot of YA books, so I found the pacing and obvious feel-good message a bit off, but I really liked this story of life on an asteroid mine. Libby is a great character; this story almost had a western feel with its frontier town and grizzled old miners. Still, it had enough SF chops for a space story. I got a bit bogged down in the geology, but it's hard to have a mining story without a lot of rocks. All in all, a great teen/YA read.

This is a complex story about political intrigue, personal survival and poker. The poker is actually kind of minor, but it makes for a sort of bookended symbol for the story. Recommended for fans of political thrillers, space opera and erotica. If you don't at least tolerate all of these genres, this probably won't be for you.
