The problem for me was that there was an open ending because it’s a series, I think but I don’t have an addict. I need a Sia to read the next books so now it’s just weird open ending, not even a cliffhangers just stopped
Also, some people probably won’t be bothered by this, but it did bother me a lot. The spelling errors were kinda many which is obviously okay, but the sentences  sometimes didn’t make any sense
I liked the start of the book, but like I said as it was an open ending, they did not even accomplish anything it was like one with no real good ending, which is so annoying.

Finally got to read this book ! Aaahh!!
I've been wanting to read it for a while and I'm so glad i finally had the opportunity to.
This book was highly anticipated (for me personally) and it did not disappoint.
The characters were amazingly constructed and interesting and they were a huge selling point, and the plot was just as interesting. Overall everything was very well written and there was a lot of depth to both the characters and the plot.
Also, this book made me feel so much ! That sounds vague but it's the best way i can describe it.
I loved the social activism and the found family of course.
Absolutely can't wait to read the second book !!

It's quite good. The start was a bit slow, but as I got into the story it got so much better. You just need to push through really. There were a bit of spelling/grammar mistakes tho, not that they took away the story from me. But they may be for someone else. 
Arthur is such a vibe and I've taken so many ideas from him. I love his development, and how just into his research is he. It's a great character. He went through a lot, and it's great to see how passionate he is, and how much he's grown. 
Nova is also super cool. Her introduction kinda threw me off, but it was great nonetheless. She's so powerful and sets her mind to things.
She went to space to try and help people and then got thrown into so much more, and still never backed down.

The ending of the story was ahhhh.
I am very excited for the next books, and just the new characters we'll see are going to be amazing. I hope we see more Renn, they seem very funky. And Ellis also seems like he'll be such a great addition to the team. It's really just very ahhh

The story had a lot of space/sci-fi vibes, but it was also filled with slice-of-life and soft moments. It was really nice and cool.

Loved it! It included ecoactivism which I adore and had a very unique selling point. Definitely excited for the sequel. 
I enjoyed the range of characters (particularly Nova and Arthur - the MCs) and thought they were well developed and likeable. I liked how Arthur had an intimate relationship with the alien species for both to reciprocally learn and activated on their behalf. Again, incredibly interesting and original

Absolutely loved this book! The characters were insanely likable and relatable. The plot was very interesting and enthralling. I read this book in 2 days which is the quickest I’ve ever read a book! This book made me feel a multitude of emotions and I enjoyed the experience immensely. Absolutely can’t wait for book 2, to read more about these incredibly well written and lovely characters as well as the marvelous plot that goes with them!
