Damn, that sure was one hell of a trip.

For being such a short novella, this story included a variety of different themes, with such a descriptive writing style that makes you feel like you yourself are trapped in one of the spheres. (Which is quite literally true if you understand the metaphors and their correlation to our lives.)

However, what this story lacked was context. You never really find out a lot about the space station itself other than the information provided in the blurb (and this information is also not the most accurate, since the memory swapping or witnessing of earthly events never even get mentioned). The vagueness might have just been the author's intent, since we do not get a lot of context before starting out our life on earth either. Also, because the novella was this short, some topics felt very rushed and didn't get the attention the whole setup deserved.

To sum up, "Space Station" is a short but fascinating read that can make you reflect on your own life if you are willing to overlook a lot of unanswered questions and immerse yourself in the situations K. R. Gadeken puts you in.

Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for providing me with this ARC in return for an honest review.
