I wasn’t ready to pivot from Elma (though in retrospect, the way Fated Sky ended should have made it pretty clear her arc was done), but I ended up enjoying this book the most out of the three. The body copy does it absolutely no favors: not only does Nicole not really mind her husband advancing his political career, it’s really a side issue next to her active involvement in disrupting saboteurs in the space program. It’s a spy thriller more than anything, while still making room for human struggles large and small.
