The Infinite Miles by Hannah Fergesen
1.0
I was so excited for this to be an entertaining listen, and it was a let down.
The plot description sounds like a wacky space adventure that matches the fun of watching an old Doctor Who episode. The problem is that despite all of this, the tone is decidedly dour. Harper is an angry, resentful main character. The Argonaut doesn't add any levity: he's bitter and has decided there's no way for him to help anyone.
I liked the glimpse we got into Miles's backstory, but that was only an aside. The way Harper's feeling for Peggy are a reveal near the end rubbed me the wrong way, and we don't get any resolution to their relationship (of whatever nature), even though the whole book seems to be leading up to that.
Maybe if I had been prepared for it to be a heavy read and not a fun space adventure, I might have liked it more—but in my defense, the description for this book calls it a “wacky time-traveling sci-fi odyssey,” so I think I can be forgiven for thinking it would be fun and not bleak!
This was one I was so excited for and ended up feeling disappointed.
