Wish I hadn’t gone into this one in the middle of a reading slump, flew through the last 100 pages & I know I probably would’ve loved it.

I wanted to love this so badly! Black heroes in space?! SIGN ME UP! Unfortunately, the character arcs, the relationships, the 5+ plotlines, they all fell flat. Either this book was over complicated, or I’m illiterate (which is very possible). I felt like I was reading every idea this author has ever thought of and threw them all into one story. I honestly did not enjoy anything about this story other than the characters were Black, and they were in space. Black and BIPOC people are rarely represented as the hero, or in space, and I will continue to recommend this book because it is a game changer for the scifi genre. This will 100% be on people’s favorites of 2024, however I personally will not be one of those people.
