So exciting. The format of this book  makes it very accessible, especially for the sci-fi genre. I found the main characters loveable and was moved by the twists that kept coming. I've never read anything like it and can't wait to read the next book in the series!

kabookworm's review against another edition

adventurous hopeful tense fast-paced

4.75

I was really conflicted about how to rate this book, because it feels like a 5-star, but I got so bored in the middle I was kind enough to consider keeping it at a 4. Not because the writing was bad, but because it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I enjoyed the ending, however, and I thought the way the book was written was so creative and unique that I’d be remise if I didn’t give them credit for their hard — and truly genius — work.
