faustianbarga1n 's review for:

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer
2.5
adventurous
Strong character development: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

these stars are not for gardener rover & kodiak celius. i would give my own life… for gardener rover and kodiak celius.

if wasted potential was a book. worldbuilding that could’ve been amazing fell short, a plot where the answers to mysteries are just handed to the audience in a convenient explanatory sentence, super weird pacing that made what could’ve been a fantastic enemies/rivals to lovers fell short, and ambrose just kind of gets away with being xenophobic to kodiak the whole book until the last 10 pages?

i think the only time i genuinely was engaged by how things were going was
when kodiak crashed out and opened the airlock and when they decided to kill the clones
