Revenger by Alastair Reynolds
5.0

Absolutely loved this - it's inspired me to make a video for my booktube channel about it.
I didn't know what to expect and was reading it expecting hard sci-fi; it wasn't but it was brilliantly written.
The characters couldn't have been more likeable, the plot was absolutely gripping and kept developing in surprising ways throughout - and I couldn't wait to read the next chapter...
Apparently some people have called it YA but I don't think it fits with how I understand what YA is - it's adult in its approach and explains all of the science in it, and I imagine it is just that the two main characters are young.
Anyway - totally brilliant from cover to cover.
