This book was a lot of fun. I loved the pacing, the politics of the world were fun (and at times frustratingly realistic). I liked all of the characters too. There wasn’t anything here that was completely mind blowing but definitely a fun read.

This would be a four star book if it wasn't so predictable. And it would be a two star book if not for all the elements and nods to other great reads. Overall enjoyable. Just not as gripping and suspenseful as I was hoping for.

3.5/5

- “An investigator must solve a brutal murder on a claustrophobic space station in this tense science fiction thriller.”

- This was a pretty solid space horror/thriller! Sure, at some points I felt like a lot of technical information, history, and world-building was being thrown at me, but I think that’s just part of the genre that I have yet to get used to. Other than that, this was a fun read with lots of tension, twists, and scary AI put to dangerous uses.

Again, more a thriller than horror, though maybe space horror is mostly space thriller with claustrophobia? It is a cracking thriller, though, fast-paced with great characters, and though I saw the twist coming when it finally arrived it fely more like a high five than a let down.

Bit of a mixed bag. Really enjoyed some things, other parts were a bit slow. Overall, it was a quick read and I liked the combination of mystery & sci-fi.
