3.5/5
Overall, I really liked this book. It's a fast paced adventure that takes place in a world not like our own but the author takes great care to detail it (at least in first two thirds of the book). This is definitely one of the more original sci-fi stories I've read in a long time and at just over 200 pages it's an easy read (important if you're busy like me and just want some light reading before bed!)
I thought the first half was solid, the second half was okay but introduced too many characters too late that would become central to the climax of the story. Khe's concern for her new "sisters" seems to come a little fast, and the whole metaphysical explanation of who the Powers are and how they're destroyed is a bit bungled, but other than that, it's a good book. There is a sequel coming out soon apparently and I look forward to reading it!
The one thing I think the author should improve upon (other than creating a stronger SciFi explanations) is the formatting of the kindle book - it was a bit off in the second half of the book (text italicized when it shouldn't be, and normal when it should be italicized)… (plus d'informations)

Very entertaining story, the author creates a very interesting world, populated with a race where the males and females live separately and once per year they reunite to mate. But that happens as an impulse that you cannot control, and our heroine misses this impulse and is sent for treatment. Initially the treatment seems to work, but then some side effects start to happen and the whole story develops from there. While seeking for a cure to her problem outside her village, she finds others affected by similar problem and she ended up finding the answer for a much more high level question, who are those entities that came to their world and caused the society to behave as they do nowadays. Very well written, characters full developed and environment well described. Nice cover. It took me around 10 hours to read the whole book.
I recommend this book to the permanent library of all readers that enjoy a very well written science-fiction book. I bought this book from Amazon.com and I was not requested to provide a positive review. Opinion expressed here is my own.

The world in this book is more than amazing. It's intriguing. As it unfolds you can't help but want to learn more. This is an alien world that both feels truly alien and yet works really well. Add to that a compelling and well written story and this book is a must read.
