Fun, exciting, and definitely tinged with dramatic flair I had a great time with this book. It was  enjoyable and exciting in the slightly pulpy way that got me just anxious enough to propel me onwards once things get running. 

I’ve been a fan of the author’s video essays since I was a teenager and I think that lent some nostalgic voice to the narration for me and definitely earns me some bias I’ll have to admit to, but I enjoyed myself throughout. It’s very much like the kind of sci fi I enjoyed when I was younger but with a darker spice at moments.

First contact! Conspiracies, government agents, conspiracy theories, warring alien factions - this book has them all in spades. And yet, the story almost seems languid for much of it. This was not a drawback for me. I liked the slow burn for much of the novel, with the reveals coming slowly. The main focus was on how completely disparate life forms and societies would interact. Where would we understand each other,  and where would we be horrified. Quite nicely done. 

The narrator was mostly quite good, but overdid it a few times.
