Obscura by Joe Hart

2.0

fun book, some aspects were a bit silly and "trope-y". I think it would have worked better if it hadn't taken itself so seriously.

Spoiler

The point of this mission is to save humanity right? And yet it was so poorly planned - Gillian deciding last minute to not go into stasis? Not accurately tracking when people are shifting? In a book that tried to ground itself in reality/near future, these felt like major plot holes. But if the book had a more.. starship troopers-esque setting, I think it might have worked better... You know, lean into the campy-ness a bit more. Still it was a really fun and quick read. Can't say I didn't enjoy it!
