My four star rating is an A.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I took every chance I could to read. And in my home, that's hard!
To me, the book is well thought out and well written. I found two themes illustrated in the book, "what comes around, goes around", and, loosely, "an eye for an eye". I bit in Am Lit, could never find the"deeper meaning" of those stories they had us read, so these fairly screamed out to me. LOL. I think character development is very good. There are no typos, etc., those kinds of pesky things. I do wish that the flora and fauna Ava is working with were described more, but, I'm a died in the wool science geek.......
The aliens on Moon Station were described very well. I am learning to draw, and they were described so vividly, I could SEE them. I think I can draw a couple of the simpler ones. I usually don't see characters.
The character Ava, is a kind, loving woman. But, delightfully, she can take a man down before he can begin to squeak. However, after she receives her heritage, there are times she becomes whiney and TOO needy. But, other than that, she is a strong, independent, well educated woman. Definitely an excellent role model for how a woman can be. She has a deep, smouldering anger against the antagonist (I can't remember how to spell his name--Agnosoti--something along those veins. Sorry). Besides some other things he's done, he will do absolutely anything to get Ava's heritage, and that would most likely ruin the world.
Needle is a Finder. He has an uncanny ability to find things. Mr. A hired him to watch Ava. He found a chance to watch her up close and personal, and decided that job wasn't for him. He quit. He appears to be a likable man, handsome to boot, which always helps in these books. Ava is between jobs, she wants to continue to study the dark side of Tangerine, so they sneaked down. There is where they find that Needle is actually involved in her heritage. "Who, me"? What, him? Ooh, that's why he's a Finder--makes perfect sense, now. Ava learns some control of her heritage, she and Needle learn about their ancestry and Pisk meets old friends.
Pisk is my favorite character. He is an alien who looks like a terrestrial cat. He and Ava are emotionally bonded. Pisk can walk up walls and on ceilings. And he can talk. He's loyal to a fault, and absolutely gorgeous.
I think the progression into the second half of the book began well, but did become rushed towards the end. There could, IMHO, have been more time spent developing the ending.
I am glad the epilogue is there. It adds a soothing element. Also, like someone else said, suggests there might be a sequel. I'd love to read another.
For those who are concerned about this. There are some sexual scenes. They are short, and I'm pretty sure they are tastefully done. I just read through those like I watch a movie, closed my eyes and had someone tell me when I could look!

I could get to know Pisk...well, and Ava and Needle, too, of course!
