I liked the complexity of the aliens and Eternity, and I liked Calliope, but that was about it. The book kept tacking on new POV characters to reveal new info whenever it was needed, so solving the mystery felt less like solving and more like an extended sequence of “gotcha”s. The dialogue was just bad. Overall a big letdown with such a cool premise.

I really enjoyed this book.  The characters and the setting were both very interesting, the aliens were actually very alien.  

I really hope there are more books in this series

though I wonder how it will work if the station is running at normal capacity since it seems like maybe the station would know immediately who the murderer is.  Though the second epilogue suggests not, but not why the station wouldn't know since she was able to piece things together after she had a compatible host.

It's like this book was custom-designed for my weirdo brain. I loved it and can't wait to read the sequel(s)!
