3.0

as someone who doesn't like cozy fiction, this novella did not change my mind. the world building was neat and I liked the almost steampunk innovation - but on Jupiter - vibe of it. the characters were interesting enough, although I never really got to know either of our protagonists. I liked the end result of the mystery and thought it tied everything together nearly within the information provided. however, the mystery and characters did not really draw me in as it/they developed, so most of this story was lacking for me.
