Colonization is a YA sci-fi type book, it was fast pacing. Andromeda has her life all planned for her, I mean everything, her life, her job even her lifemate. Paradise 21 is a place for new beginnings but it is not something Andromeda is looking forward to especially since she was hoping her lifemate would be her best friend Sirius, no that would be too easy, her lifemate is actually Corvus and Sirius is now her enemy.

The book is full of action and adventure, very futuristic and a good read. ( )

Sounds like a mixture of the two books "Glow" and "Matched"

The colony ship New Dawn has been traveling in space for centuries. One of many ships bound for various planets the inhabitants of New Dawn lost contact with the other colonists long ago. They may well be the only humans left from a doomed world and they need to make it Paradise 21 and not just survive, but thrive.

Like the colonists before her, Andromeda Barliss has spent her whole life on board the ship. However, unlike those that came before her, at age 17, she will be landing on Paradise 21 and making it her new home. Whether she wants to or not. Annie would rather stay on board the ship than go out onto a strange new world and build a new life. When she gets her work assignment she’s happy she’ll be working with her mom, but very unhappy when she doesn’t get her best friend Sirius as her lifemate. What will she do? Is the planet as safe as they’d been told all those centuries ago? What about her Grandma Tiff telling her she would save the colony? What’s up with that? Annie is about to find out many things about her fellow colonists, Paradise 21, her lifemate and, most of all, about herself.

This is a great sci-fi story, well-written with an interesting plot and well-fleshed characters. I found Annie to be a bit of a whiner, but she gets herself together by the end. I’m curious to see where this series is heading and I’m going to look into Dionne’s A New Dawn series since they seem to be loosely tied into the Paradise Reclaimed series.

As the New Dawn's generations-long journey through space comes to an end,so is the world as Andromeda knows it. Paradise 21 is the promise of hope and new beginning, but Andromeda dreads it, especially when her future life mate is not the guy she envisioned. She wanted it to be her best friend, Sirius, so being paired with Corvus, whom she barely knows, is another challenge she must face, along with being assigned her role amongst the crew.

Paradise 21 is not the safe haven its name suggests and their new homeland is filled with dangers. Through them, Andromeda learns whom she can trust as she navigates through an unknown planet filled with alien ghosts.

Colonization has it all. A well-crafted story with a richly developed world. The combination of love story and sci-fi made this story very unique. I loved the characters, especially Corvus, and found Andromeda's growth heartening and endearing.

All in all, this was an inventive, imaginative, and thoroughly enjoyable read. ( )
