Easy to read, an enjoyable sci fi adventure set on a new planet that doesn't make you think too hard, but does contain a sprinkling of ethics around cloning and colonisation. The main character is kinda dumb and I enjoyed that.

3.0

This book started out fun and the voice was great, but the focus lingered way too long on Mickey absolutely failing in every way to stay hidden and not long enough on the entire plot, which was basically shoved into the last 50 pages. The antagonists were interesting but barely described and the solution that works in the end is ridiculous.
