Delightful read! Defying Gravity is a fast-paced and exciting read with a sweet bit of romance thrown in. Linia and Alezandros are on a collision course, their planets sworn enemies. When Linia is roped into a war she did not expect, and Alezandros is sucked into a wormhole, they meet in dire circumstances with only stereotypes and cultural misunderstanding to guide them.

The scene where Linia and Alezandros cannot see each other, but can only converse through a hole in the wall was sweet and touching. Even though their planets were at war and enemies, they draw together to survive and dare to fall in love.

This book is not just a sci-fi thriller, but also examines societal issues, defies your assumptions, and enchants you with the hope of love overcoming all obstacles. Even though the book was short, I was drawn into it and got to know the characters well, their inner desires and yearnings, and the way they approached challenges and hardship.

Read it. I guarantee an enjoyable experience.
