This is a good story and my problems with it come down to personal taste, that said anyone reading this review should read this fanfic for themselves and see if they like it. The thing I have an issue with is the amount of internal monolog/exposition. One character would say to another "Good morning how are you?" and we spend the rest of the chapter in someone's head reading about their life story before they go off on a tangent about how some races are both similar and different. Some people are fine with this because it gives them a better understanding of how the characters think. I however feel most of it is unnecessary and prefer the show don't tell approach. It also slows the pacing of the story way to much. I've been reading it in batches of 10-15 chapters in order to get the feeling that the plot is moving whenever I do sit down and read it. Now with all that being said I'm still reading this story because it's good and I like it, the near constant internal monolog just slows the story down to much for me to give anything more than 3 stars.
