Aw this was such a sweet read, I thought the ending was realistic and I loved the interactions between Grace and Rocky. Sometimes it was annoying to read "I'm gonna do science" but I appreciate the effort made to explain different parts of the science and maths behind a space journey like this. Could have been much shorter though

4.5

I thought this was a fun read. The relationship developed between Ryland and Rocky was really sweet, and I came to really like Rocky (even though he's described looking like a spider...)
Even though the book is very scientific and has a lot of the jargon that I don't really understand, I wasn't too lost. I think that goes down to Weir's ability to simplify it.

I really liked Stratt- everything she does feels consistent in her character.

I did love this so much. I saw lots of people say they found it info-dump-y but I’m such a space nerd I found that part to be really cool. It was fun and heart warming and captivating.

I loved this book! I loved the characters, the world-building, the references to other works of scifi, the surprising ending, the themes of friendship and the scientific sections.
