Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes
3.25
Overall Impressions: Very creepy, with a building sense of ominous dread as the story goes on. I actually liked Ophelia quite a bit, even though she’s meant to be a flawed character, and was satisfied with the ending even if it didn’t answer every possible question. I particularly liked Ophelia’s backstory and her realizations as the book went on.
Worldbuilding: Fairly standard sci-fi capitalist space nightmare, without a ton of additional details. There was enough there to frame the story but I would have liked a little more about the main threat in the end.
Plot: Several red herrings, twists, and turns which left me wondering what was even happening at a few points. I generally enjoyed it.
Pacing/prose: A little rushed at the end but otherwise I thought the pacing was good. The prose did feel like I was watching a movie which some people like and others don’t.
