Murder mystery on a space ship with a bit of action thrown in. All together felt a bit rushed and didn’t really care for any of the characters. Never really felt much suspense despite some of the big twists and turns - every chapter felt light and too short. Some ideas I’ve seen done better elsewhere (rogue AI).

A very interesting hard sci-fi book from an author who has never written sci-fi before. Had some great concepts and the idea of a murder mystery in space is veeeeery cool! But not incredibly well written. Characters were underdeveloped and parts of the book I had to force myself through. Still worth a read for sci-fi lovers though.

I do not get this book. There are so many good reviews. But the characters are not particularly well developed and the plot is poorly crafted. Which is unfortunate because there are a lot of good ideas that could have resulted in several interesting books.
