i feel like it took itself a little more seriously than it needed to, especially when considering the philosophical and ethical dilemmas the characters face

I felt that the plot was well thought-out and well executed, and I really liked the majority of the characters. Each character had their own distinct personality and flaws. They felt very believable and human to me. I really enjoyed the parts of the book that dug into the backstory of each character too. Often when I'm reading a book that jumps between past and present, I find one timeline more interesting than the other, but I really enjoyed both the past and present sections of this read.
I also really liked the ethical and moral dilemmas brought up throughout the story. I enjoy being able to mull over the contents of my recent read, and I felt like this book gave me a lot to think about. I also felt like it fleshed out the universe of the book a lot; it helped it to feel more lived in.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery and would like a strong dose of sci-fi to go with it.
