This book was lovely. Poetic and thrilling. The use of text speech was great in bringing you into the mind of the main character, Leo. I have a fascination with space, music, and nature, which made me feel a sentimental connection to Leo, Orion, and Libra. I did in fact cry. Multiple times.
I feel like I've been writing really angry reviews lately?? but no fear, this book is awesome!! I can't wait to coalesce all the happy thoughts I have buzzing around my head about Satellite, because it really is so underrated and such a worthwhile book to read.

A fantastic heart-wrenching story, but I just can't get over the texting style of writing. The author uses abbreviations too often and never uppercases letters when they should be uppercased. If this doesn't bother you, definitely give this book a chance.

Going into this book, I expected a lot of adventure and action. I did not get this, and although the book was still great, the expectation of "something more" to happen caused a sense of disappointment. Many events occurred that seemed like they would be the start of a bigger storyline, but again and again the events mellowed out, despite plot points being revealed that would generally cause great uproar in other YA novels. Although this gave the book an overall sense of something different than the typical book, while reading, it did not play out so well, as it seemed that each event gained an anticlimactic reaction.
Despite not working well as an action/adventure novel, the book was still interesting. It took a setting that many novels have used before and subverted it to show a different perspective, effectively creating something unique. In that sense, it also subverted the expectation of tense characters and plot points, instead having a more mellow yet still negative outlook of the events that happend, with a few more tense moments sprinkled here and there. The mellowness of the novel allows for the poetic meanings inside the book to be displayed more openly, which is a major plus for this novel. Another thing that increases its pros is the way the book is typed, which instantly sets up the reader for a setting that is similar to Earth but has changed and/or evolved. The scientific details included, while potentially boring to some, effectively set the atmosphere, as well as help to form the main character's perspective.
Overall, this novel was pretty good, with only minor flaws in the actual story part itself, however, the book did not accurately reflect its content through the blurb, causing it to disappoint readers looking for something else and potentially miss out on readers interested in the type of novel it actually is.
