This book took me either 6 years or 3 days to finish reading, depending on how you look at it, but I’m glad I finally did! I enjoyed all the characters and had a lot of fun with it, and I got u expectedly emotional towards the end.

When I was first reading this in bits and pieces in 2019, I think my expectations for sci-fi were just different than what this book is, so the story wasn’t gripping me like I’d hoped whenever I picked it up. This time around, I was definitely better prepared, but I do still wish the plot was a bit tighter.
