This was so very close to being a DNF for me as there is a LOT of maths and science involved, particular in the beginnings that were going over my head. However, I was encouraged to persist and I'm glad I did. The journey and humanity of the tale that comes strongly into the second half made it worth it - you can let the technical stuff go over your head & still get the gist. Audiobook as opposed to text almost feels like a MUST, due to a very specific element in the story. I'm sure I wouldn't have had the same experience had I read it in text. Narrator was fantastic.

Lone survivor on a space craft saving humanity

later discovered a part of the mission against his will

from life form from eating the sun & with spacecraft only having enough fuel for a one way trip should explain all trigger warnings. Nothing goes into great graphic detail, but most just mentioned very briefly and I want to cover all bases.

I started out reading this book so slowly… as in, barely getting in 10 pages a day (for 3 days across 2 weeks). After consulting a local reading facebook group, strangers on the internet convinced me to tough it out and read it fully. 

I am so glad I did. Thank you, kind strangers. 

Trust me when I say this book starts quite slowly but picks up VERY quickly. As soon as I reached a certain point in the plot, I literally could not put it down. 

The characters are lovable, and while I don’t agree with All of them, I see where their decisions come from. As a science nerd, I was also fascinated by the lengthy explanations throughout the book (even if I didn’t understand them 100%). 

I absolutely love this book. I’m glad I’m ending the year with it.

Wow, amazing. Totally enthralling. Loved the conceit for the split timelines and learning about Dr. Grace in each. Man oh man, can’t believe I waited so long to read this one
