Timothy Zahn

3.73 AVERAGE


This was a cute short story with some interesting concepts. I haven’t read Zahn before but enjoyed his writing and found all the characters in this story to be fleshed out and fun to follow. His characterization of alien species was interesting! I’d recommend this work broadly to fans of sci-fi and short stories.

Timothy Zahn is such a great world builder and that is what this short novella contains. It’s a fun and quick world build that you almost wish was a full book. That is the only thing I would want differently is a longer book.

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

For such a short book the world building in this novella is astounding, I loved learning about the astral projections and characters. This novella was quick and had the perfect dash of science, it was thoroughly enjoyable.  The clever twist at the end that helped all of the characters in the book really made me smile. 

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review.
