A review by yujowheelies
The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer

adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

The separate paces of tense sci-fi thriller and sappy queer teenage romance take a while to harmonize, but the moments when they do is when this book really soars. Hope and love triumph in even the darkest places (like the desolate vacuum of space).
