A review by nicobella
Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty

5.0

4.5, 5 for now. All I knew about this book was that it was a sci-fi mystery, yes please and thank you, and that I didn’t like the cover. So…you know that moment at the end of the rollercoaster, well after you’ve gone up the incline, dove and twirled and dove again, and it’s over, you can see the platform ahead of you, but your brain is mush yet you feel really good? That’s where I’m at right now. Half the book was the incline up - instead of nice scenery and clouds there were interesting aliens, characters I was curious about and seeds of mystery - then the drop - reveal after reveal after twist after reveal. WOW. My brain is mush but I loved that ride. It maybe wasn’t the perfect book, I was sometimes confused and I sometimes just accepted things or made them make sense at the time, but I sure had a hecka lotta fun.

Oh, what’s it about? In the not too distant future, Mallory happens to find herself around A LOT of murders - and she ends up solving them too. For some reprieve, she’s granted permission to live on the closest alien space station, Station Eternity, where there’s only one other human in residence. I think that’s all you really need to know to go into it - enjoy the ride!

Also, now that I’ve read it I despise the cover even more.
