Incursion by Aleksandr Voinov
2.0
2.5 stars.
Neat world-building. The setup was fun and the background lore stuff was all interesting. But, man, that was a whole lot of plot to fit into sub 100 pages. Turn this into a full length novel and it's probably a 4 for me. But as it is, I feel like I barely got to meet any of the characters, much less become invested in their relationships with each other. I just wanted everything this story offered, but ... more.
I need to stop getting my hopes up with novellas. They always end up letting me down with their lack of depth even if I love literally everything else about them.
