  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

Honestly, if not for book club, this would’ve been a dnf for me. The first half was so hard for me to get through and it did pick up in the second half for sure and I felt more invested so 3 stars. But I struggled so bad to read that first half lol.

I love space books but I did want more drama/plot/stakes. It just didn’t ever seem like anything was happening. Even in the moments where things were happening.

I actually did like the characters & I liked some of the commentary in the book, it was interesting. At the end of the day, it was just okay to me & I won’t be reading any of the others but good show, jolly good show.
