Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes
3.0
S.A. Barnes’ Ghost Station was a highly anticipated release of 2024, so it was a shock to realize that it ultimately falls flat.
Throughout my time reading this, I felt heavy Prometheus (2012) vibes, which is a film that I love. Despite this, Ghost Station fails to be as sickening as Prometheus. Ophelia’s [the main character] struggle handling and overcoming her trauma somehow was simultaneously interesting and lackluster at the same time. I have no clue why this was the case, but this sentiment carries over to the cast of characters and the world-building as well. Regarding the plot, I’m unsure if it just didn’t click with me or if it was Barnes’ writing. I’ve never read from them before and I don’t think I will return.
Ultimately, despite the similar Prometheus (2012) vibes and the interesting premise, everything about this book falls flat.
Rating: 3/5
