4.5.
I love this series and this book is so good. This is a fantastic scifi series to read if you want to get into scifi but haven’t read a lot of it or just want a bit of an easier read. It being told in interview style made it a different take on a first contact with alien story.

Another slay. Wow. The epilogue was insane. Not convinced on Mr Burns as a character honestly. Made the resolution too easy I think. The whole thing of a superior race not wanting to interfere on this world was very interesting. Their time travel rules are sus. Not convinced they make sense. The whole geobacter thing was cool but how did it take them 12 years to figure that out. If they have all the best scientists in the world working on this surely they could’ve come up with that earlier.

I’m going back and forth on my rating for this one.
I think I would’ve enjoyed it more if I’d read it in print. The performance for the 10-year-old felt inauthentic and forced in a way that bothered me, though the rest of the cast remains excellent. There was also a lot of intense action and, therefore, screaming.
I appreciated the twists and not pulling punches, as well as a time-skip, and delving into more lore.

These books have their flaws like any other but they are just so much fun to read.
