Nice watch. Dependable male lead. Intriguing plot twists and action. Interesting space-age setting with heavy political overtones. There were just a few hiccups for me: The romance was contrived and devalued some of the characters, though perhaps it's just personal preference. The story could have been more detailed overall; perhaps more worldbuilding, character backgrounds and development, and more explanation for each of the happenings. It may have made the romance worthwhile. Wish it had a mature feeling, but at least you get the feeling that the young adults/children are young adults/children.
