An interesting premise that I think deserved a little more than it delivered. I was intrigued by the concept, but the narrative never quite grabbed me the way I wanted it to. It felt like there was something here that could have been really special, but the execution fell a little flat.

That said, there was one moment that hit me right in the feels. Parent life, man. Sometimes a book finds that one little crack in your armour and absolutely goes for it.

Honestly, I think my biggest mistake was reading this so soon after Dark Matter. The concepts left me thinking along similar lines, and I suspect I would have enjoyed this one considerably more if I’d given myself some distance between the two.

I’m a little disappointed, but mostly in myself for not saving this one for another time. I did like it, and I think it deserved a fairer shot than I was able to give it.
