Nightflyers by George R.R. Martin

This is not a GREAT story. It is a decent story, maybe even good.
The story is ressonably easy to read and comprehed for the adult reader, but lacks background and motives to several characters, though it follow patterns and is true to characteristica to both the science fiction genre and the horror genre.

Overall 3/5 (I liked it fine)

Elevator Pitch:
In the far future, a ship captained by a mysterious recluse takes a crew in search of the mysterious volcryn. As the journey continues, frightening events happen with more regularity.

Specifics:
Really strong opening paragraph. Short and sweet. Really frightening. Gorgeous illustration. Some of the stuff was sci-fi-y to the point of cringe for me, but other than that, not much to say.

selline kergendus - lugeda midagi GRRMilt, mis ei ole tuhat kakssada neliteist lehekülge pikk. ja mõõkade-mantlite asemel ikka konkreetne kosmoseulme - laevad ja skafandrid ja kauged tähed ja tulnukad. aga laibaloendur läheb siingi kohe üsna vurinal käima ja ses mõttes klassikaline õudukas, et aru ei saa, kes tapab, aga pole kindel, et lõpuks lugejagi ellu jääb. (ma napilt jäin, kuigi nagu ikka ulme lühivormide puhul, jäi mulle lõpus üht-teist segaseks.)

Quizá un tanto más irregular que [b:Retratos de los hijos|48739984|Retratos de los hijos|George R.R. Martin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1573316476l/48739984._SY75_.jpg|1394273] pero, aún así, de un nivel sobresaliente.

This was way too fast paced and short. The story gave you no time to care about anything at all. The characters were boring and for some reason, even while people around them are dying, they still are constantly horny. Sex and nudity was pointless yet Martin always feels the need to include it. He just likes to make sure the women in his stories are naked or sexual. It is really weird and frankly many times cringey. Every time I thought, "wait, but why?" The whole book was a waste of my time.

Pretty lacklustre and minimal in character development given such a small crew and being on an isolated setting. I’m still intrigued in checking out the mini-series, as that was my primary intention of reading this initially.
