5.0
I was invested enough in Marta that I felt her frustration in Gideon, felt her anger at people trying to sabotage her choices, and then felt her elation as she found a new way to get to space again (when she left, my notes just say: “yay!”). She’s one of my favorite characters in some time. I like the fact that she’s crude and rough, sometimes mystified at why her methods don’t get the best results. I felt a bit protective of her by the end of the book. She’s bullish and stubborn, and I absolutely loved her.
Beth and Marta end up falling into the company of a handful of people who call themselves Shadow Runners. When they reach the Shadow Station, everything seems strange. There’s only a small group of people for such a large station. They don’t seem happy to see the new people, even though they themselves rescued Beth and Marta. They’re hiding an awful lot of secrets, ones which can’t help coming out eventually.
The Abrax aren’t around so much lately, but it turns out that there are still a few hidden away.
The plot is riveting, the characters totally pulled me in, and I want to read this volume again to get some of the less-obvious details.
