At first I thought Pygmalion Unboundwould be a truly scientific tale. All facts and very little story. Once Alannah entered, the whole pace changed and the characters blossomed into real people. The scientific aspect was not lost, but it became part of the story rather than an explanation.
I enjoyed the pace and feel as seen by Alannah and the short excerpts from other characters, but Alannah was the one who gave life to the story. A good science fiction book, with a different twist to it. Well worth reading.
