It does sound interesting and a bit more realistic than many light novels out there.

One thing i did like about this book was how it portrayed Zel's issues, so it was easy to understand why he feels the way he does about both himself and physical intimacy. I did find Euphemia to be a bit obnoxious; at first, i was annoyed that her older sister had such control over her life, but once i realized just how air-headed Euphemia is, it's a miracle she's allowed outside her house for her own safety.

I'm not really the target demographic for this book, but it was an interesting read. I'll pick up the second volume to see how it ends.

You had me at Grace Draven, I'll definitely be checking this out. I can never get enough of sci-fi.

Does it sometimes seem like male-oriented stories get all the sexy content?


Remembers my mom's bookcase. Remembers my dad's bookcase.

Nope, not really.

I get that you mean in the translated light novel arena, but just saying, I can't remember I walked through B&N and saw anything in the 'romance' section targeted at men.
