I loved so much about the prose, but nothing compelled me to keep reading. I did because I don’t not finish books.

This wasn’t quite what I thought it would be based on the description, but it was still good. It’s set in a universe where space exploration isn’t super new but also isn’t super advanced, which I liked. I wish there was a little more depth to it, that we saw just a little bit more of the protagonist’s relationship to a couple of particular characters.

This is a retelling of Jane Eyre in space.  It's smart, thoughtful and updated for contemporary fiction.  It's the type of update that makes you appreciate it on it's own and understand Jane Eyre more.  As a kid of the 80's who was fascinated by the idea of space camp, I loved this story.
