I don’t really read enough sci-fi, especially given it was one of my dad’s favourite genres and I inherited lots of his books. 

But I was given this book for Christmas and it may have ignited a sci-fi spark in me - it was fantastic - full of tense moments but full of character development too, I found it thoroughly compelling.

Around a third of the way through it got a little slow but once I pushed through that I was completely captivated and read the last 300 pages in one sitting, so absorbed that I didn’t even really notice how many pages I was turning. 

Given it’s not my usual genre I had not much idea what to expect but it was full of twists and turns and enough excitement to keep me enthralled. I’ll definitely be picking up more sci-fi this year!
