The thing that works the most for me for this book is also the thing that hurts at the most. The pacing is so fast and it is such a short book so it’s a really quick read, but the thing is is that I found out that there is actually a sequel that it sets up that is even shorter than the first book which makes me think why didn’t you just package this as one book that actually was paced well gave me a fulfilling conclusion. It’s probably because of money and being able to print more copies of the book but like I don’t know if I would go back to this world unless I was given a free copy because I just didn’t think it was compelling enough..

He definitely set up a lot of cool ideas with this like competition to narrow down the number of astronauts, and this like drug that the space entities have put together to enhance the performance of the final six and all the conspiracies honestly that’s probably should’ve been a new adult adult novel. I just given the time and complexity to work because as away it’s just not giving nearly enough breathing room
