Scalzi can write. He captures teenage girl voice, and manages to keep readers glued to a book that retells an old story. Zoe is the star.

Fun story. Good characters, I have never known teenagers as articulate as these.
I can't recommend the Old Man's War series enough. It's the best sci-fi I've read in years.

Did not entirely saw the point of the book. I guess space opera story re-telling through the eyes of a teenager is not my genre. And, leaving some minor loose ends on purpose in the previous book just to tie them in this one - not cool. Just didn't like the idea. Couldn't finish the book, although I like the series and I love Scalzi's style.

As someone who deeply loves Back to the Future: Part II, I’m thrilled with this idea of diving back into the previous story from a fresh perspective. As someone who notices that all of Scalzi’s characters talk like snarky teens, I’m pleased to see him finally take one on as protagonist. His emotional depth—not usually a sci-fi strong suit—remains impressive, and this new perspective on the universe he’s built offers some potent examinations of privilege and morality.
