i feel like it took itself a little more seriously than it needed to, especially when considering the philosophical and ethical dilemmas the characters face

Sometimes with large ensemble casts, it can be tough to feel like I have a good sense of who all the characters are; this was not at all the case with Six Wakes. With the exception of Paul -- which I think was the point -- I found the crew all lovable and fascinating in their own, complicated ways. The tension between the crew members left lots of room for me to theorize about potential motivations for the crime, which was a ton of fun.

On the whole, Six Wakes is a gripping read that does an excellent job balancing an action-packed plot with strong character development.
