If you are thinking about letting your student read this, please know that I had high hopes for this book. It is really well written, has fascinating characters and an extremely diverse universe. I did not like, however, the amount of inappropriate physical contact between the major characters. This is supposed to be a children's/teen book, but parts of it are really inappropriate. Violence in a daily routine for the characters in this story; many of them die, are murdered, and one character commits suicide. These scenes aren't overtly graphic, but still questionable for a young audience.
