This book has a strong start. They give you just enough world building to get you started with this adventure. The first portion of the book is atmospheric and tense. Towards the middle, it starts to drag. There’s also not enough time spent on character development. There are only two characters in this lengthy book. I should know deeply by the end. There’s also an unnecessary romance. It reads more like Stockholm syndrome than a genuine feeling..
ethias's review against another edition
5.0
Wow that was quite the experience! I had some ideas of where it was going but was wrong on almost every count. I couldn’t put this one down, read it all in one day quite feverishly. I feel quite tired and relieved now that I’ve finished, this book was very good at making you feel tension and exhaustion and emotional pain along with the characters.
I’d say my only complaint is that I don’t see why Em’s motivations are any less ethical than mining for ore, if anything I’d say hers are more ethical if I’m being honest. Mining for ore just benefits the owners of the company and no one else, just makes them a profit. What’s more human than mourning and grief? Of wanting closure and to honor the dead? The sheer number of people who died is certainly a point of complaint, I just struggle to see the problem with her ultimate goal vs. the goals of mining ventures.
Overall a stunning read that was chilling and horrifying and gut wrenching, well done!

This wasn't a fun experience. Not much actually happens other then the the Main character picking a fight with her boss over and over and over. I tried to feel for the MC but her paranoia is exhausting and I was over her emotional break downs by the halfway mark. I wish the climbing was a greater part of the book but it's skipped over for more fights between the two.
