✮⋆˙ Oh my stars ✮⋆˙,
I didn‘t think I’d like this book at the start, but ended up really enjoying it :)
The characters are relatable/likable (I especially liked Kizzy and Dr Chef) and some parts are either very funny or quite poetic, which was nice.
The only reason why this review is 4 not 5 stars is that it was kinda slow, therefore I sometimes got a bit bored. And because I don’t know much about sci-fi and bcs English is not my first language I didn’t get some of the stuff about mechanics etc. , so I was quite confused every now and then. "0_o
Anyways, I’d still recommend it & here are my favorite poetic quotes, enjoy :)
“He did not run from his grief , not did he deny its existence. (…) He embraced it, accepted it, acknowledged that it would never go away. It was as much a part of him as any pleasant feeling. Perhaps even more so.” -Dr Chef (ofc)
“I never thought of fear as something that can go away. It just is. It reminds me that I want to stay alive. That doesn’t strike me as a bad thing.” -Pei
