Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for sending me a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. 
 
Station Eternity was such a fun read! I thoroughly enjoyed this spin on murder mysteries with aliens on a sentient space station. I loved the sci-fi setting, the characters quickly grew on me, and I liked how layers were added to the mystery as the plot progressed. 
 
My only complaint was with the pacing: each time something major happened and the plot felt like it was picking up, the story was interrupted with another POV - usually with backstory in the form of a flashback. While I did enjoy these chapters (and there was a heck of a lot of world building to accomplish that needed these chapters), they did detract from the overall pace and might have benefited from better chapter markers (such as “then” and “now”). 
 
I think I will enjoy future books in the series, and I can’t wait to see what happens next! Thank you again to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the opportunity to review an ARC.
