This book was awesome and I 100% recommend it.
*Spoilers below*
My only issue was that at the end I would have liked to know what the message in the beetles was. And to see the reaction of stratt.
But I loved everything else. The slightly surreal world building is great to watch unfold. The mechanic of memory loss worked really well for that.
Of course I loved rocky and the ALIEN LANGUAGE LEARNING. I loved the language modelling and the way they both enjoyed it so much because they're both scientists (and a teacher!!).
I love how much thought went into Erid and it's culture (eg the Thrum) and their habits on eating and drinking etc.

Really funny, really entertaining and had a lot of great science.
I didn't like the resolution and repetitiveness of the last third.
