Really liked this, however think the tension that was built up throughout was lost somewhat in the last section. Interested to see how the other books fit in to some of the unresolved mysteries.

5.0

This is exactly my kind of sci-fi. A quiet, slow burn mystery on a far-flung planet with an exceptionally unreliable narrator. I guessed some bits but thought the series of steady reveals was skillfully done as was the exploration of mental illness though check the trigger warnings on this one if you’re so inclined.

Oof. This was a heavy read. Exciting and action-packed, but very heavy and triggering topics. 

Wasn't too keen on the ending, but overall it was a very good book. 


TW: death, murder, suicidal ideation, child death, mental illness.
