Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon original Stories for the ARC. My opinions are my own.
TLDR: A fun little escape story. 3 stars
This was a silly little romp. Summarizing this book means spoiling the entire fun, but it is in essence an escape story condensed into 30 ish pages.
Since this is a short story I must warn that there is little to no character growth and depth, and the plot is very much focused on the escape part. If you find yourself saying "it is too short" or "not enough time to develop x and y" I think you should hold off. This falls into the usual "pit traps" that a lot of short stories do and is slightly unavoidable.
I did, however, have a good time with it. It entertained me for as long as it could and did a good job at it.
Audience is a little hard to pinpoint as the plot might feel a little juvenile to adults and a little too complex for younger readers. Young adult to new adult is where I sit. Of course, sci-fi short story fans might enjoy this, but it is my first time with one so I have nothing to compare it to.
3 stars. Entertaining, nothing spectacular. Single sitting read, which is always fun
