An entertaining adventure of the last of humanity coming into conflict with their own unintentional creation. Dealing in evolution, brutality, and empathy. I enjoyed seeing the spider society advance and develop. Much of the book deals with many sci-fi tropes, but combined in a satisfying new way. Adding a touch of hard science fiction is fun, but I wish there was more of it.

An exceptional exploration of the human reality when penned up on ships for thousands of years with suspension pods and failing equipment. Characters of epic proportions, a must read for any fan of sci-fi.

If you had asked me what I expected from this book, I would have never imagined saying "rooting for a bunch of spiders".
Halfway between science fiction and my first year uni zoology lesson, this book was a total surprise, made so such more enjoyable by the fact that my biology degree brain was screaming, crying, throwing up the entire time.
I can't really talk about this book without spoiling anything because it's best going in without knowing too much. But I will say I'm a little perplexed about the ending as it felt quite rushed and a little too simple.
Anyway, onwards to book two soon!
