This one is all about the characters for me. By the end of the first novel you love them. Through this book you root for and adore them. It’s a solid sci-fi that won’t surprise you with the plot, but the characters are worth every word. 

I think the most amazing part of this book was the way the author captured the grief of characters. Each character experienced grief in their own way that was true to their personality. What was especially heartrending was the author showed the true nature of grief that just keeps coming back to haunt you. Many books gloss over grief or there is one moment of purging grief. This one is just wave after wave pulling you under. While reading, it very much felt like grief does in life.
