A mostly boring book saved by great characters and truly wonderful narration by Tom Taylorson.

I adored this - I was desperate to know what had happened to the Quarian ark in Andromeda and when the rumoured DLC never happened, I thought I’d never find out. The voices of each race in this were perfect - I LOVED Yorrik, the elcor doctor, and it was fantastic to explore some of the lesser seen species of the series in more detail. You can clearly see this was written by someone with so much love for the series and now I really want to play Andromeda again, so there’s that.

**Spoilers**
I was worried this would end tragically because of the uncertainty of the other arks in the video game, but I'm happy that the ending is left open so there is still possibility of the Quarian ark to make it to Andromeda in a future game! I feel like the final reveal of the 'villain' was very unexpected, and it had me talking outloud to myself about how dumb their assumptions were regarding the outcome of the virus.

Pretty good for a video game tie in. Great characters and a whodunit story with an actually surprising conclusion. It is part of a series so there is an unresolved ending.

Well, that was bleak. But now I have answers about the Quarian Arc.

It wasn't bad. My first Mass Effect book. Came by it because I love Catherynne Valente. I cant say this is her best work, but maybe Mass Effect fans will love it?
